  Q: How to remove and replace the front Brake Rotor on Ford Taurus X?

  A:

  The first step to replace a front brake rotor/disc requires removing the wheel coupled with the tire. Preventive measures need to be taken to avoid letting the Brake Caliper hang from the brake flexible hose to stop damage from occurring. Begin by using a wrench to remove the two brake caliper and anchor plate assembly bolts followed by their disposal. The brake disc screw needs to be discarded after its removal. You should apply Penetrating and Lock Lubricant to the hub and brake disc connection when the brake disc shows resistance to removal. You must clean all rust along with foreign substances on the brake disc and wheel hub by applying brake parts cleaner. Before putting in a new brake disc you need to spread thin anti-seize lubricant on the hub flange. Install the new brake disc following by attaching a new brake disc screw while tightening it to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft). To complete the job lastly reset the brake caliper and brake caliper anchor plate assembly while torquing two new bolts to 150 Nm (111 lb-ft).

  Q: How to remove and replace the rear Brake Rotor on Ford Taurus X?

  A:

  Start the procedure to replace and remove the rear brake disc by removing first wheel and tire components. Avoid suspending the caliper from the brake hose because such action could damage it. Cable caliper anchor plate bolts should be removed along with their disposal before moving the brake caliper anchor plate aside. Install the anchor plate bolts at 110 Nm while tightening them (81 lb-ft). You need to do away with and throw out the brake disc screw afterward which needs a torque setting at 21 Nm (15 lb-ft) upon assembly. For completion of installation reverse the earlier procedures by using two new brake caliper anchor plate bolts.
