-
the disc brake caliper for brake fluid leakage. If the disc brake caliper is leaking, it must be rebuilt or replaced.
-
the pad thickness. Do not install pads worn to or past the specified thickness above the metal backing plate or rivets.
-
the pads for contamination. Do not put oil or grease-contaminated pads into service.
-
the front disc brake hub and rotor for minimum thickness. Replace the front disc brake hub and rotor if worn to or below minimum thickness.
INSTALLATION
1. If installing new pads, use a C-clamp and a pad to press the caliper piston to the bottom of the caliper bore.
NOTE: Bottoming of the caliper piston is not necessary if reusing the original pads.
2. Fill the rubber caliper sleeve boots with Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound D7AZ-19A331-A (Motorcraft WA-10) or an
equivalent silicone compound meeting Ford specification ESE-M1C171-A.
CAUTION: To prevent deterioration of the caliper sleeve boots, do not use petroleum-based lubricant.
