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

  A:

  Service and repair of the front brake disc starts by first removing anchor plate bolts before setting the Brake Caliper and anchor plate assembly to the side. When reassembling make marks on a wheel stud and its matching hole of the brake disc wheel to preserve the minimal runout throughout the assembly process. The next step requires the removal of all three brake disc screws before they are discarded. Brake disc removal should be attempted only if rust penetrant treatment works on the brake disc hub interface. To install the brake disc one must first use a hub-mounted brake lathe to machine the disc if needed then measure and resurface it until it meets specifications otherwise replace it with a new one. Use metal brake parts cleaner to clean all rust along with debris from both brake disc and wheel hub surfaces. When installing the brake disc apply a thin layer of anti-seize lubricant on the hub flange before lining up its marks with the wheel stud position. Position the brake caliper and brake caliper anchor plate assembly before screwing and torquing two bolts to 185 Nm (136 ft. lbs.).

  Q: How to remove and replace the rear Brake Rotor on Mercury Monterey?

  A:

  Remove the rear brake disc by making a point to avoid letting the caliper and anchor plate assembly hang from the brake hose because doing so can lead to damage. Servicing the rear brake components requires strict attention because disconnecting the Parking Brake Cable from the brake caliper lever presents a risk of damaging its end fittings. The solution is to support the caliper and anchor plate assembly using mechanic's wire. After removing the brake caliper anchor plate bolts you should put aside the caliper and anchor plate assembly. Next, remove the brake disc. Begin your installation by wiping clean all brake disc surface areas and the wheel hub with brake parts cleaner. Students should apply anti-seize lubricant on the hub flange but must place it only in areas separate from wheel studs and both Brake Pads and brake disc material. Return the brake caliper together with its anchor plate to its proper position and secure two new bolts at 102 Nm (75 ft. lbs).
