Removal and Installation
WARNING: Do not use any fluid other than clean brake fluid meeting manufacturer's specification. Additionally, do not use brake fluid that has been previously drained. Following these instructions will help prevent system contamination, brake component damage and the risk of serious personal injury.
WARNING: Carefully read cautionary information on product label. For EMERGENCY MEDICAL INFORMATION seek medical advice. In the USA or Canada on Ford/Motorcraft products call: 1-800-959-3673. For additional information, consult the product Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) if available. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Always install new brake shoes or pads at both ends of an axle to reduce the possibility of brakes pulling vehicle to one side. Failure to follow this instruction may result in uneven braking and serious personal injury.
NOTICE: Do not spill brake fluid on painted or plastic surfaces or damage to the surface may occur. If brake fluid is spilled onto a painted or plastic surface, immediately wash the surface with water.
NOTICE: Do not allow the brake caliper to hang from the brake flexible hose or damage to the hose can occur.
NOTICE: Do not pry in the caliper sight hole to retract the pistons, as this can damage the pistons and boots.
NOTICE: Protect the caliper pistons and boots when pushing the caliper pistons into the caliper piston bores or damage to components may occur.
NOTE: If installing new brake pads, install all of the new hardware and lubricant supplied with the brake pad kit.
NOTE: For brake system and component bleeding procedures, refer to Brakes and Traction Control.
