How to service and repair the front brake pads on Mercury Cougar?

Service and repair of front brake pads starts with disconnecting wheel nuts followed by lifting and supporting the whole vehicle until the wheel can be removed. The first step before installing new brake pads involves removing the brake pad retaining clip with simultaneous disconnect of brake pad wear sensor electrical connector when present. Detach the caliper by removing bolt covers and bolts then safely move the caliper out of work area so as not to harm the flexible brake hose. Destroy the brake pads by removing both their inner and outer sections. Full piston retraction of the brake disc caliper should happen before pad installation so that clean brake disc face surfaces can be exposed for the inner pad placement and then outer pad installation. Screw the caliper into place by using the bolts before placing the bolt covers. If your brake system has a pad wear sensor electrical connector you should use it as the final step along with installing the pad retaining clip.

Mercury Cougar Brake Pads are auxiliary systems that help to reduce the speed of a car by rubbing with brake discs. These pads are comprised of a friction material which is laminated to a metal backing plate and is worn out and needs to be replenished occasionally. Most Cougar models come equipped with wear sensors or wear indicators to give an indication that the pads are worn low and need replacement. Through the years, various kinds of brake pad materials have been used on Mercury Cougars namely: non- metallic, semi- metallic, and ceramic brake pads. These types have different benefits in regard with friction, wear ability and the level of noise they produce. Furthermore, correct and proper tightening of associated equipment like clips, springs and other related apparatus have to be put in right fixes for the usual and efficient functionality of the brake pads. It is recommended that the brake should be changed every 50 000 miles of journey and this is to ensure that effective braking is made and incidences such brake fade is avoided.
