  Q: How to service the rear brake pads on Lincoln LS?

  A:

  Before servicing the rear brake pads you must raise the vehicle and stabilize it before removing the wheel and tire unit. Before continuing you should remove the caliper bolts while carefully maintaining the caliper above the brake hose and then remove the caliper. Next the brake pads must be removed. A hub-mount brake lathe can be used for Brake Disc machining and specification measurement before resurfacing; new brake disk installation is required when the disc is not in specification. The Rear Caliper Piston Adjuster must be used to squeeze the disc brake piston and adjuster inside the disc brake caliper. The reverse order should be followed for installing the caliper.

  Q: How to service the front brake pads on Lincoln LS?

  A:

  Start the front brake pad service by taking off the brake master cylinder filler cap to estimate brake fluid level in the reservoir then drain fluid to maintain half-full capacity. Support the vehicle while raising it and disconnect the wheel assembly from its position. It is essential to avoid inserting tools into the caliper sight hole since this action may harm the Pistons. The brake hose needs suitable support during caliper removal to prevent it from hanging loose. Take all caliper bolts off then lift the caliper over the anchor plate. Replace brake pads when they reach the designated thickness area exceeding the metal rivets and plate backing or when they have worn down completely. Install new brake pads only with brand-new axle set components. Check pads for wear signatures before you remove them. Brake Disc replacement is necessary when its thickness measurement shows out-of-spec values. A caliper inspection should be performed to detect leaks or boot damage because disassembly of the component will be required to repair either issue. The anchor plate assembly requires inspection to verify proper condition of guide pin boots and free movement of guide pins without damage but replacement of any faulty elements. A wood block or used pad should be placed between the caliper pistons and boots before using it to compress them. The installation procedure requires reversal of the removal steps by filling the brake master cylinder reservoir with new or equivalent DOT 4 brake fluid which adheres to Ford specification SAE-11704-DOT 4. You should use DOT 3 Brake Fluid (United States) C6AZ-19542-AB which matches Ford specification ESA-M6C25-A instead of DOT 4 brake fluid when the latter is not accessible.
