How to Properly Service and Install a Brake Caliper for Front on Ford Escape?

The brake caliper service and repair process starts with parking the vehicle in neutral position on a hoist. The brake caliper requires its clip removal before you loosen the brake caliper jounce hose at the caliper then you should retighten it to 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.) when reinstalling. The first step involves unwrapping the two brake caliper dust boot caps followed by removing the two brake caliper guide bolts which must be tightened to 35 Nm when using the disc-drum brake system and 45 Nm when using the four-wheel disc brake system during reassembly. Extract the brake caliper by stem-unthreading it from the brake caliper jounce hose while maintaining an untwisted hose position. The installation process ends through reverse implementation and system brake bleed procedure. Brake components will sustain permanent damage which leads to brake failure when using fluid other than the specific DOT 3 motor vehicle brake fluid that DOT has approved for use. Handle brake fluid with proper caution when performing tasks because contact with eyes or painted or plastic surfaces can be dangerous - any spills must be washed right away using water.

How to remove and replace the brake caliper on Ford Escape?

Use only brake fluid that passes manufacturer quality tests since polluted fluid or drained fluid may cause both system damage and personal injuries. Brake fluid spillage should be prevented from touching painted or plastic surfaces because it creates damage until you clean these areas promptly with water. The brake pads located at the rear portion of the vehicle experience wear at twice the rate compared to the front pads. The first step requires removing the wheel together with the tire. Remove the anchor housing spring with care while avoiding the use of tools for maintenance purposes. The left-hand (LH) brake caliper needs its anti-rattle spring lower part released through center force and outward pull followed by an upward spring rotation to take it out. To release the upper portion of the right-hand (RH) brake caliper anti-rattle spring perform the same procedure by pulling it outward while rotating it downward for removal. The brake caliper operates with the brake flexible hose as one component because technicians must disconnect the brake tube fitting from the hose before ditching the retainer clip. After removing the guide pin bushing caps and the two brake caliper guide pin bolts you should set the caliper aside while supporting it with mechanic's wire. After removing the brake flexible hose with its attached brake pads from the caliper keep the caliper open. Install the brake pads to the caliper followed by anchor plate position and secure it with guide pin bolts and bushing caps while tightening them to 50 Nm (37 lb-ft). Fasten the brake pad anti-rattle spring by inserting its tab into the designated brake caliper cavity then rotating it tightly and testing its correct latching through spring tension. A proper installation of the brake flexible hose begins by checking for any hose twisting before installing it to the brake caliper and tightening it to 20 Nm (177 lb-in). Install a new retainer clip afterward. Bleed the brake caliper after securing the brake tube fitting onto the flexible hose with 20 Nm (177 lb-in) torque. Then reinstall the wheel with tire.

The Brake Caliper in Ford Escape vehicles is great importance in the braking system since it is responsible for converting hydraulic pressure that is from the master cylinder in to mechanical force. This force is necessary to apply the brake pads firmly against the rotors so as to slow or stop this car. Ford Escape models utilize two primary types of Brake Calipers: The two types of assets that are recognized under this act are; fixed and floating. Fixed calipers have contact pistons on either side of the rotor while the floating calipers have contact pistons just on one side while the other one glides to apply pressure; the floating ones can experience uneven wear if not well maintained. In the past, the Ford Escape Brake Calipers have been made with cast iron for the body and with piston options of steel or phenolic. There are performance-oriented variants of the caliper, which are better than the stock ones installed on a car, and likely containing better material for improved looks. That is why, inspections and maintenance are important, since various problems, for instance, brake drag or some kind of uneven pad wear, can appear if the Brake Caliper is damaged.
