How to service and repair a brake caliper on Mercury Cougar?

A block of wood or shop rags should go between the caliper piston and the caliper housing before its removal for brake caliper service. Compressed air extraction will remove the caliper piston from the housing before you discard the dust seal and piston seal. Inspection of both the caliper piston and piston bore must happen before replacement of the piston when pitting or scoring appears. Lubricate the piston bore and caliper piston together with High Performance Dot 3 Brake Fluid C6AZ-19542-AB or a Dot 3 equivalent following Ford specifications ESA-M6C25-A. Afterwards, install a new piston seal in the grooved piston bore and secure a new dust seal onto the caliper piston. Put the caliper piston into the caliper bore while avoiding damage to both components then insert the dust seal before installing the caliper assembly.

The Brake Caliper in Mercury Cougar vehicles is used in the braking system and change hydraulic pressure from master cylinder into mechanical force. This force is important in applying pressure on the brake pads to the rotors to slow or possibly stop the vehicle The force is also important in apply pressure on the brake pads to the rotors to cause the slowing or stopping of a vehicle. Mercury Cougars utilize two primary types of Brake Calipers: These are the referred to as fixed and float. Fixed calipers have several pistons, on either side of the rotor that presses with fixed force while the floating calipers have a single piston which slides to apply pressure and yields uneven disc wearing if not well serviced. A variety of brake caliper styles have been used in Cougar models over the years, essentially in terms, of construction material and performance characteristics. Stock calipers are adequate for ordinary driving while performance calipers provide better braking and styling for performance oriented conditions. These performance options include cast calipers, right up to lightweight aluminium units and thus they cater for all sorts of applications including the budgetary constraints.
