  Q: How to service and repair the brake caliper on Mercury Marauder?

  A:

  Before servicing or repairing the brake caliper the technician must disable air suspension power through luggage compartment switch control when dealing with cars which use air suspension to stop unexpected air spring changes that could happen during hoisting or jacking or towing operations. Commence the work by taking off the wheel with its attached tire unit. Maintain proper handling of brake fluid because it consists of polyglycol ethers and polyglycols yet eye contact should be avoided and hand washing follows all fluid interaction. Voluntarily flushing your eyes for 15 minutes under running water should be followed by medical care when eye irritation continues. Water consumption followed by vomiting induction is necessary before you get medical help following ingestion of brake fluid. Prior to applying treatment to painted or plastic brake fluid areas always wash out the substance with water because damage could occur. Obtain the front brake hose bolt before removing it while discarding the copper washers it contains. Understandably remove first the disc brake caliper through brake caliper bolt removal while separating linings from the caliper then lift up the caliper from the anchor plate. Check the brake caliper and guide pins along with locating pins for damage while inspecting for wear; installation of a new brake caliper becomes necessary when you identify leaks or damage. Install the guide pin boots exactly before installation because improper positioning may result in hardware damage. Position the disc brake caliper onto its mounted position and start with low-caliper bolt tightening before proceeding to tighten all brake caliper bolts to factory specifications. The installation requires new copper washers that go with the front brake hose bolt and front brake hose before performing a brake system bleed. The vehicle requires air suspension activation through operation of the air suspension switch. Place the wheel on top of the tire assembly before installing new brake fluid into the brake master cylinder reservoir and then replacing the brake master cylinder cap. The brake pedal needs several applications before taking the vehicle for a drive.
