Thunderbird V8-4.6L VIN W (1997)
Brake Pad: Service and Repair
Hand Sanding
If there are only surface irregularities, or a build up of foreign material, the front disc brake rotor and brake pads may be resurfaced by lightly sanding
the face with a fine emery cloth. Inspect both rotor braking surfaces. Minor scoring or buildup of lining material does not require machining or
replacement of front disc brake rotor. Hand-sand glaze from both rotor braking surfaces using garnet paper 1OOA (medium-grit) or aluminum oxide
150-J (medium).
