How to service and repair the front brake pads on Ford Thunderbird?

Start servicing the front brake pads by taking out the brake master cylinder supplement cap followed by inspecting the brake fluid in the reservoir tank to an amount that reaches half capacity. Begin by taking out the wheel combined with the tire. You should abstain from using the caliper sight hole for pushing pistons since this practice risks damaging them. All times support the caliper correctly rather than making the brake hose bear the caliper weight. You can uninstall the caliper after removing the caliper bolts and gently lifting it from the caliper anchor plate. New pads should be installed when the worn-out point reaches the specified metal backing plate or rivet measurement while complete axle sets must be used for pad installation. Check brake pads for damage along with contamination after which remove them to measure brake disc thickness before installing a new brake disc if thickness measurements exceed specifications. Review the caliper while looking for signs of leakage because any detected issues will need caliper parts to be taken apart. The guide pin boots must be checked for damage while inspecting the anchor plate assembly to verify guide pins do not bind or show damage with replacement of every worn or broken component. A wood block or used pad should protect the pistons and boots when compressing caliper pistons. The installation process requires following the removal steps in reverse order with a proper filling of the brake master cylinder reservoir by using fresh brake fluid.

Brake Pads belong to the critical assemblies of the Ford Thunderbird car models' braking systems with the primary functions that are to slow down the car by rubbing against the rotating brake rotors. Controlling the kinetic energy through friction, brake pads are made up of a metal backing plate and friction material. Thunderbird brake pads are specifically made to be heat resistant and in normal use the brake pads heat up to a level of about 200 degrees Celsius. These include non-aspremieros organic (NAO), semi-metallic, metallic and ceramic brake pads where the friction material varies in its level of metallic content, wear and noise. Ford Thunderbird vehicles should get their brake pads checked every 15,000 to 25,000miles and replaced when they wear out; normally this could be about every 50,000miles.
