Q: How to service and repair the rear brake pads on Ford Explorer?
A: The first task to service and repair the rear brake pads consists of draining brake fluid from the master cylinder reservoir until it maintains half its volume. The pads must be replaced when wear exceeds the measurement from the metal backing plate to specified rivets and each axle must receive brand new pads during installation. Check the brake pads for acceptance criteria and proceed with caliper removal from the rear brake without disconnecting the rear wheel hose. The installation of brake pads should avoid any contact between them and grease, oil, brake fluid or other contaminating substances. The process requires retraction of the caliper piston into the caliper followed by removing the slippers. To manage the rear brake disc condition properly use a hub-mount brake lathe to measure it followed by resurfacing when required and discard the brake disc if it exceeds specification. Install new brake pads by placing them across the entire axle set instead of one side of the vehicle after cleaning the surfaces for slipper mating. The last step involves installing the rear disc brake caliper followed by testing proper brake functionality.
Q: How to service and repair the brake pads for the 4.0L SOHC and 4.6L (3V) disc brake system on Ford Mustang?
A: Only brake fluid that meets manufacturer requirements should be used to service and repair brake pads of the 4.0L SOHC and 4.6L (3V) disc brake system. Previously drained fluid poses a risk of damaging components. Proceed to check the brake fluid level in the reservoir then drain away half of the fluid if needed. The procedure starts with mounting mechanic wire to the caliper to support it while you discard both guide pin bolts from the brake caliper assembly. The replacement of brake pads should involve axle set installation to stop brake drag or pull. Throw away the four spring clips. The brake caliper requires inspection for leakage and boot condition followed by replacement if needed while you should check the anchor plate assembly for binding or damage before applying specified grease to guide pins and performing an anchor plate replacement if necessary. During new brake pad installation apply a C-clamp together with a worn brake pad to push caliper pistons into brake bores while making sure to protect the pistons as well as the boots. The brake pad kit installation requires users to mount four new spring clips and two new brake pads as well as all provided hardware. Fasten the brake caliper onto the anchor plate by using two new guide pin bolts that need tightness of 34 Nm (25 lb-ft). The reservoir needs clean specified brake fluid before you apply pressure to the brake pedal several times to confirm correct functioning.
Q: How to Ensure Proper Brake Pads Maintenance on a Ford Ranger?
A: The process of fixing brake pads starts by supporting the vehicle through its elevation before removing the wheel assembly with its tire. Service professionals should swap worn-out pad materials when their thickness goes beyond manufacturer standards from plate metal or bolts while conducting axle pad replacements. The inspection of pads must occur before removing the lower caliper bolt and disc brake caliper rotation to obtain pads and stainless steel slippers which need discarding. The brake disc and hub need replacement if their minimum thickness measurement fails to reach specification points; Ford recommends performing brake disc resurfacing on the vehicle using lathe manufacturer recommendations. Perform a leak check on the caliper brake because removing it will be needed if leakage is discovered. The relocation of anchor pins must be limited to installation where new ones are used. Check the operation smoothness of anchor plate guide pins before testing the boots for damage. Replace new pins and boots with Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound XG6 or equivalent Ford specification ESEMlC171A for lubrication. New installation of stainless steel slippers must happen during brake pad replacement while following proper positioning against the anchor plate rail outboard end. First clean the slipper mating surfaces of anchor plate while documenting the inboard pad indicators. Then put in the new stainless steel pad slippers and verify antirattle spring integrity. Last apply a C-clamp and wooden block to pneumatically squeeze caliper pistons before downward caliper rotation. Complete the installation by mounting the caliper bolt after which you must install both wheel and tire components before conducting a brake system check.
