  Q: How to Remove and Replace the Front Brake Rotor on Ford Five Hundred?

  A:

  Starting the brake rotor/disc replacement procedure requires a vehicle in neutral position on a hoist. The Brake Caliper should never hang from the brake flexible hose because maintaining support with a suitable tool is essential. Begin the procedure by removing and discarding the two brake caliper and anchor plate assembly bolts before you put them aside. The next process requires the removal of the brake disc screw that needs disposal. To make the brake disc easier to remove it is important to put penetrating and lock lubricant between the brake disc and hub mating surfaces. Before installation of the new brake disc both the brake disc and wheel hub require cleaning treatment with brake parts cleaner to eliminate any present rust or foreign substances. Before attaching the new brake disc apply an ultrathin layer of anti-seize lubricant to the hub flange. Attach the new brake disc by using a new screw then tighten it to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft). Complete the installation by resetting the brake caliper along with the brake caliper anchor plate assembly then add two new bolts which should be fastened to 100 Nm (74 lb-ft).

  Q: How to service and repair the front Brake Rotor on Ford Five Hundred?

  A:

  Service and repair operations on the front brake rotor/disc should begin by setting the vehicle to neutral and suspending it on a hoist. The brake flexible hose must not support the Brake Caliper. Substitute it with a proper tool to maintain the brake caliper in place. The service includes removing two bolts which secure the brake caliper and anchor plate assembly and placing them out of the work area. The next step requires removal and disposal of the brake disc screw. Lock lubricant and penetrating oil should be applied on the hub-brake disc joint surfaces when the disc does not come off easily. Thoroughly clean the brake disc together with wheel hub using brake parts cleaner once you have removed this component. Prior to brake disc installation the hub flange requires thin application of anti-seize lubricant. Establish the new brake disc with its new brake disc screw through a torque of 12 Nm (9 ft. lbs.). The brake caliper and brake caliper anchor plate assembly should be repositioned before securing two new bolts with 100 Nm (74 ft. lbs.) torque.
