  Q: How to service and repair the front Brake Rotor on Mercury Montego?

  A:

  Service and repair operations on the front brake rotor/disc should begin by setting the vehicle to neutral and suspending it on a hoist. The brake flexible hose must not support the Brake Caliper. Substitute it with a proper tool to maintain the brake caliper in place. The service includes removing two bolts which secure the brake caliper and anchor plate assembly and placing them out of the work area. The next step requires removal and disposal of the brake disc screw. Lock lubricant and penetrating oil should be applied on the hub-brake disc joint surfaces when the disc does not come off easily. Thoroughly clean the brake disc together with wheel hub using brake parts cleaner once you have removed this component. Prior to brake disc installation the hub flange requires thin application of anti-seize lubricant. Establish the new brake disc with its new brake disc screw through a torque of 12 Nm (9 ft. lbs.). The brake caliper and brake caliper anchor plate assembly should be repositioned before securing two new bolts with 100 Nm (74 ft. lbs.) torque.

  Q: How to Properly Remove and Install a Brake Rotor on Mercury Montego?

  A:

  The first step to service a brake rotor/disc requires proper support of the Brake Caliper using a suitable tool that prevents gravity from affecting the brake flexible hose. Use a suitable tool to support the brake caliper before discarding the two bolts which secure the brake caliper and anchor plate assembly together. The servicing process demands disc brake screw removal before discarding the screw. An application of penetrating and lock lubricant to the brake disc hub mating surfaces should be done when removal becomes difficult. Brake parts cleaner should be used to remove rust and debris after the brake disc and wheel hub separation. A small amount of anti-seize lubricant should be coated on the hub flange ahead of assembling the brake disc. The new brake disc screw needs tightening at 12 Nm while also reaching 9 ft. lbs. torque level. To finish the procedure anchor the brake caliper and plate using two new bolts which need to be tightened to 100 Nm (74 ft. lbs.).
