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

  A: The repair process for front brake pads requires only using approved DOT 3 motor vehicle brake fluid since other types will damage brake components permanently and disable the braking system. The brake fluid in the brake master cylinder reservoir requires checking and you should drain fluid to create a half-full reservoir if needed. Place the automobile on a hoisting machine after setting it to neutral gear. Hang the caliper from the brake hose trees at any time to avoid causing damage. Mount the caliper using mechanic's wire after uninstalling its guide pin bolts. The technician should extract brake pads together with four spring clips before getting rid of the spring clips. The guide and locator pins and boots must be checked for signs of damage or corrosion. Replace any defective parts while adding lubrication to the pins when required. Position four new spring clips on top of the brake pads while setting their spring clip tabs in an opposite direction from the Brake Disc. A suitable tool should be used to protect pistons and boots during the compression process of disc Brake Caliper pistons into caliper piston bore while keeping away from brake caliper sight hole prying. Begin with tightening the bottom locator pin bolt before proceeding to tighten the top guide pin bolt. Securely attach the brake caliper and bolt both guide pins to 35 Nm (26 ft. lbs). Clean specified brake fluid goes into the brake master cylinder reservoir before performing brake functionality tests as the last step.
