  Q: How to service and repair front brake pads on Lincoln Mark LT?

  A: The servicing and repairing process for front brake pads starts with using clean brake fluid that matches manufacturer requirements but it is essential to discard previously drained fluid because it poses risks of contamination and damage to the system. Both brake shoes or pads should be replaced during each axle maintenance to preserve even braking performance. The brake master cylinder reservoir needs inspection for fluid level so remove half of the fluid when necessary. Detach the wheel and tire before taking out the two guide pin bolts from the Brake Caliper while supporting it with mechanic's wire to guard against brake hose damage. After removing brake pads you should inspect them along with the two spring clips which were removed first for any signs of wear and contamination. A brake disc pad installation requires both right-handed and left-handed brake pads because you must use a disc pad kit while adding new spring clips along with brake pads. The appropriate tool should shield the caliper pistons along with their boots during bore compression. Put the brake caliper in place on the anchor plate before installing the two guide pin bolts where the first bolt should reach a torque of 74 Nm (55 lb-ft). The last step involves reinstalling the wheel and tire then asserting pressure on the brakes several times to check proper functioning.
