Q: How to Remove and Replace the Rear Brake Disc on Mercury Mariner?
A: Start the replacement and removal process of the rear brake rotor/disc by positioning the vehicle in NEUTRAL on a hoist. Begin the procedure by taking out first the brake pads then the brake disc. By removing the adjustment plug you can reach the hole to retract the parking brake shoe and lining through adjuster rotation when the brake disc binds with the lining. Use the inverted removal steps to set up the new brake disc then reset the parking brake shoe and lining according to requirement.
Q: How to service the rear brake disc on Mercury Cougar?
A: The procedure to service the rear brake disc starts with loosening wheel nuts then raising the vehicle and supporting it before taking out the wheel. The first step involves detaching the parking brake cable by feeling the lever back and pulling the cable from the lever before removing the conduit retaining clip and finally removing the cable and conduit. The next step requires detaching the caliper with its anchor plate assembly while keeping it away from the brake hose to avoid damage. Disc out the brake disc through proper removal that also excludes any provided retainers. The new brake disc installation requires its placement on the hub followed by retainer instillation if the system includes retainers. Follow these steps when reinstalling the parking brake cable by first attaching cable and conduit followed by securing cable retaining clip and then pulling back the parking brake lever to complete with connecting cable to parking brake lever.
Q: How to service and repair the rear brake disc on Mercury Grand Marquis?
A: Service and repair operations on the rear brake disc must start by securing the rear disc brake caliper in a stable position without relying on the brake hose connection. You should perform the rear disc brake caliper removal without severing hydraulic lines. Service personnel should remove the adjustment hole access plug before using an adapting tool for parking brake shoe retraction at the opposite end of the access plug slot which faces the backing plate during rotation. You should measure the brake disc for proper specifications during hub-mount brake lathe maintenance. Replace the old brake disc with a new one if the readings show it is not suitable for use. Use Brake Parts Cleaner PM-4 PM-4 or equivalent product to eliminate any rust and remove foreign matter both from the brake disc and wheel as well as wheel hub. Before putting on the rear brake disc and restoring the rear disc brake caliper apply High Temperature Nickel Anti-Seize Lubricant XL-2 or an equivalent product fulfilling Ford specification ESE-M12A4-A to the hub flange together with pilot area.
