Taurus V6-195 3.2L DOHC SHO (1994)
Brake Pad: Service and Repair
Installation
Caliper Assembly
1. Use a 4-inch C-clamp and wood block 70mm x 25mm (2-3/4 inch x 1-inch) and approximately 19mm (3/4 inch) thick to seat caliper hydraulic
piston in its bore. This must be done to provide clearance for caliper assembly to fit over rotor during installation.
CAUTION: Extra care must be taken during this procedure to prevent damage to metal piston. Metal or sharp objects cannot come into direct
contact with piston surface or damage will result.
2. Remove all rust buildup from inside of caliper legs (outer pad contact area).
3. Install inner and outer brake pad and lining assembly with clip-on insulators into front disc brake caliper anchor plate.
4. Install caliper.
CAUTION: Failure to tighten lug nuts in a star pattern may result in high rotor runout, which will speed up the development of brake roughness,
shudder and vibration.
WARNING: Before moving vehicle, pump brake pedal several times to be sure it is firm. Do not move vehicle until a firm pedal is
obtained.
