Brake Caliper: Technician Safety Information
WARNING: Use of any other than approved DOT 3 brake fluid will cause damage to brake components and will render the brakes
inoperative.
WARNING: Brake fluid contains polyglycol ethers and polyglycols. Avoid contact with eyes. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. If
brake fluid contacts eyes, Bush eyes with running water for 15 minutes. Get medical attention if irritation persists. If taken internally,
drink water and induce vomiting. Get medical attention immediately.
CAUTION: Never reuse piston seals or dust boots.
CAUTION: Be careful not to damage or dislodge the piston seal.
CAUTION: Do not remove the guide pins or guide pin boots unless a problem is suspected. The guide pins are meant to be sealed for life and are
not repairable. Use Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound D7AZ-19A331-A (Motorcraft WA-10) or an equivalent silicone
compound meeting Ford specification ESE-M1C171-A for re-lubing the caliper slide pins. Other greases can swell the guide pin boots, resulting in
contamination and accelerated corrosion or wear of the caliper slide pin mechanism.
CAUTION: To prevent interference with rear disc brake caliper operation, install only the correct caliper bolt.
