Q: How to Service and Repair a Brake Disc on Ford Explorer?
A: A front disc brake caliper anchor plate removal should be the first step when servicing or repairing the brake rotor/disc. During maintenance of 4x4 vehicles technicians must extract the brake disc. The service on 4x2 vehicles starts with hub grease cap removal followed by cotter pin and then the nut retainer, spindle nut, front wheel outer bearing retainer washer along with the outer front wheel bearing before final brake disc and hub extraction. The second task involves removing both the wheel hub grease seal and the front wheel bearing from the system. AWD and 4x4 vehicles require installation of the brake disc onto the wheel hub followed by cleaning it with Metal Brake Parts Cleaner F3AZ-19579-SA or equivalent blades. During 4x2 wheel bearing service the technician will need to clean the front wheel bearings and brake disc and hub with premium Long-Life Grease XG-1-C or-K or equivalent Ford specification ESA-M1C75-B. Subsequently install new wheel hub grease seals before adding the inner front wheel bearing followed by another new seal. After positioning the brake disc and hub you should install the outer front wheel bearing together with the front wheel outer bearing retainer washer and the spindle nut. Tighten the spindle nut while rotating the brake disc alongside the hub before loosening it and performing another tightening procedure with rotational movement. 4x2 vehicle maintenance requires installation of nut retainer combined with cotter pin and hub grease cap. The installation process ends with reinstallation of the front disc brake caliper anchor plate.
