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

  A:

  Begin repairs and servicing of the rear brake caliper when the vehicle is in neutral position and situated on a hoist. Remove the parking brake lever arm connection from the Parking Brake Cable end before proceeding to disconnect the parking brake cable and conduit from the brake caliper. Remove the brake caliper flow bolt and two copper washers which can be thrown away. The service begins by taking out the two caliper guide pin bolts and the brake caliper as the next step. During new caliper installation position the guide pin and locator pin boots appropriately to avoid damage. Silicone grease should be used to evaluate and lubricate both guide pin and locator pins. Begin by fastening the bottom guide pin caliper bolt first and then proceed to tighten the top guide pin caliper bolt to 33 Nm (24 ft. lbs). Secure the brake caliper flexible hose with newly added copper washers and knead the brake caliper flow bolt until it reaches 55 Nm (41 ft. lbs) torque. The parking brake cable and conduit need reconnection to the brake caliper before linking the cable end to the lever arm of the brake caliper. Bleeding of the brake system should follow as the last step before performing a proper operation test. Reserve DOT 3 brake fluid from approved motor vehicle categories since it protects brake elements from permanent damage and handle brake fluid leaks promptly with water on painted surfaces or plastics.

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

  A:

  Service and repair operations on the front brake caliper need to start with the vehicle situated in neutral on a hoist platform. The brake caliper flow bolt and both copper washers should be extracted for disposal so discard the washers. Remove the two brake caliper guide pin bolts to separate the brake caliper from its position. Secure the boots of the guide pin and locator pin during new caliper installation so you can avoid damaging the components. The guide pin and locator pin require silicone grease inspection followed by necessary lubrication. Secure both guide pin caliper bolts by first fastening the bottom locator pin bolt to 35 Nm (26 ft. lbs) torque before tightening the top guide pin bolt to insufficient torque. You need to install the brake caliper flexible hose as well as the brake caliper flow bolt with two copper washers before tightening the bolt to 55 Nm (41 ft. lbs). The brake caliper installation requires bleeding the device to finalize the process. Brake devices require motor vehicle brake fluid with DOT 3 classification to prevent damage to components permanently while instantly cleaning painted or plastic parts affected by brake fluid spills with water.
