In Ford Explorer sport trac, the Brake Caliper has the responsibility of turning hydraulic pressure from the master cylinder into mechanical force needed in stopping the vehicle. This force is needed in applying pressure on the brake pads to act on the rotors, thus slowing down or m aking the car come to a standstill. The calipers may contain one or more of the following parts; pistons, seals and bleeder screws and most of the OE calipers are usually made from cast iron while the piston is made up of steel or phenolic. There are two primary types of Brake Calipers used in these vehicles: The two types include the fixed and the floating populations. Fixed calipers have several pistons on the side of the rotor, and apply a constant force while floating calipers have one piston that slides the body of the caliper over the rotor. Fixed calipers are generally better performers but are expensive whereas in floating calipers there is a reverse problem: while they are simplicity in their principle they may stick or wear unevenly. Performance options are also available, which improves stopping power and appearance for different purposes of usage.
Ford Explorer Sport Trac Brake Caliper Parts and Q&A
- Q: How to Properly Service and Install a Brake Caliper on Ford Explorer Sport Trac?A:The first task to perform brake caliper service and repair involves vehicle elevation through support systems followed by complete wheel and tire removal. Brake components will get damaged when using brake fluid apart from DOT 3 since this fluid disables brake operation completely. Treat brake fluid with care because exposure to eyes must be avoided while hand washing must occur extensively after application. An eye contact incident should be managed by washing with running water for 15 minutes while seeking medical help if the issue develops. Swallowing this substance calls for ingesting water followed by vomiting before receiving prompt medical evaluation. Bornical and plastic elements require immediate cleaning with water because brake fluid causes damage to painted items. It is essential to keep the brake hose free from clamps for protection. Removing the front brake hose bolt enables front brake hose disconnect. Afterward, remove and throw away the copper washers while plugging the front brake hose. You must first detach the disc brake caliper by unfastening its bolts then lifting it from its anchor plate position. Check for leaks on the caliper and perform a disassembly when leakage occurs. Install the disc brake caliper into its correct position by threading in the caliper bolts for locking it into place. The front brake hose installation requires new copper washers before securing the front brake hose bolt. The disc brake caliper bleeds first before the wheel with tires goes back on along with a final inspection of brake system operation.
- Q: How to remove and replace the brake caliper on Ford Explorer Sport Trac?A:The first step in brake caliper replacement requires the use of clean brake fluid from the manufacturer specifications while discarding all previously drained fluid to protect components from damage. You should read the warning instructions on the label carefully before consulting medical professionals in emergency situations. Any leakage of brake fluid should lead to immediate water-based cleansing of painted or plastic surfaces. Start by removing the wheel and tire followed by disconnecting the brake flexible hose flow bolt and placing aside the brake hose and discarding the two copper washers and capping fluid ports. The process of retracting pistons through the brake caliper sight hole needs to be done carefully to prevent any damage from occurring. The brake caliper guide pin bolts must be removed before uninstalling the brake caliper and new brake caliper must be installed if boot leakage or damage exists. During installation position the brake caliper and fasten it with the two guide pin bolts which need to be tightened up to 72 Nm (53 lb-ft). Two new copper washers will serve to position the brake hose before attaching the brake hose flow bolt which should be tightened at 35 Nm (26 lb-ft). Bleed the brake caliper before reattaching the wheel together with the tire.
