How to service and repair the rear disc brake caliper on Ford Escort?

Service and repair of the rear disc brake caliper requires disc brake caliper removal along with dropping of the brake caliper bleeder screw and cap. The next step requires removal of caliper bolt dust boots together with the screw plug. You should twist the brake adjuster screw clockwise until it reaches a position suitable for piston removal. Apply compressed air to the piston dust seal removal process with caution since either too much pressure or insufficient pressure can both lead to personal injuries or the piston flying out of the caliper bore. Completely cover both the brake caliper bleeder screw opening and brake adjuster screw opening while processing this step because honing cylinder bores requires the absence of pistons. Replacement of the rear disc brake caliper must be done when the bore shows signs of scoring or corrosion. A block of wood inserted between the caliper and piston will help the compressed air remove the piston effectively. On completion remove the snap ring followed by the rear disc brake adjuster spindle together with the O-ring which requires disposal and the brake connecting link. A plastic or wooden pick should be used to remove the piston seal from the bore while discarding the seal afterward. Afterward remove the spring from the rear brake operating lever while taking out the operating lever and its associated seal. Assemble the piston and all internal rubber components by using Motorcraft High Performance DOT 3 Motor Vehicle Brake Fluid PM-1 or an equivalent fluid which satisfies Ford's ESA-M6C25-A, DOT 3 specification. After lubrication complete the assembly by working in reverse order.

How to manually bleed the front disc brake caliper on Ford Escort?

Begin front disc brake caliper bleeder operations by linking a rubber drain hose to the bleeder screw and then placing the hose end in clean brake fluid that fills the container to a small degree. The assistant should pump the brake pedal ten times before maintaining continuous pressure on it. Checking the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir must be performed regularly to stop it from running dry. Use the brake bleeder screw to let brake fluid stream while an assistant should keep brake pedal pressure before tightening the screw. The procedure should be repeated until you see clear fluid without bubbles before you fasten the bleeder screw securely.

Multiple piston fixed calipers give even distribution of pressure and improved output; the floaters move to exert pressure, so they usually require maintenance due to uneven pad wear.
