  Q: How to service and repair brake pads on Ford E-150 Econoline?

  A: Commence brake pad service and repair by taking protective measures against brake fluid polyglycol ethers and polyglycols since both substances should be kept from the eyes with complete hand cleaning needed afterward handling the fluid. Eyes that come into contact with brake fluid should receive a running water rinse for fifteen minutes but require doctor check-ups for lasting irritation. Consumers who swallow brake fluid should immediately drink water while making themselves vomit and afterward obtain emergency medical help. The Brake Master Cylinder should have its fluid removed to hold space for the displaced caliper piston which will reach the lowest point of the caliper bore during pad replacement. Aid the vehicle while it is in the raised position before taking out the tire and wheel assembly. Front brake hose has speed sensor wiring which should be unclipped if applicable. Secure the caliper with wire while supporting it from an underbody element by removing its two bolts. The front wheel spindle needs to be removed of its disc Brake Caliper (E-150) while performing this procedure on E-250, E-350, E-450 through caliper caliper anchor plate detachment. The caliper needs inspection for any brake fluid leakage since a leaking caliper requires rebuilding or replacement. The pad installation requires determining the pad thickness while keeping it above metal backing plate or rivets by the specified minimum thickness. At the same time check for pad contaminants and avoid pads with oil or grease residues. The minimum specification establishes the critical point for disc brake and hub thickness inspection where replacement is needed. The caliper piston does not need bottoming when keeping original pads yet a C-clamp with a pad should be used to push the piston to the caliper bore bottom when installing new pads. To prevent deterioration of the caliper sleeve boots, do not use petroleum-based lubricant; instead, fill the rubber caliper sleeve boots with Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound D7AZ-19A331-A (Motorcraft WA-10) or an equivalent silicone compound meeting Ford specification ESE-MIC171-A. Install the disc brake caliper by positioning it in the front wheel spindle (E-150) or in the front disc brake caliper anchor plate (E-250, E-350, E-450), then install and tighten the disc brake caliper bolts. Installation ends by connecting the speed sensor wiring to the front brake hose before putting on the tire and wheel assembly.
