  Q: How to Safely Remove and Install a Brake Caliper on Ford Excursion?

  A:

  The first step to servicing and repairing the brake caliper demands attention to asbestos fiber dust on brake and clutch assemblies because inhaling this substance poses safety risks. Apply an asbestos-specific vacuum cleaner alongside OSHA-compliant labelling and sealing of the vacuum bag while informing the hauler about contents before disposal. The use of a government-approved toxic dust purifying respirator is required for dust generation situations alongside wet cleaning methods when a vacuum for asbestos fibers is not available. An area restricted to brake or clutch technicians needs warning signs to prevent entry while asbestos dust generation occurs. Users must exercise caution with brake fluid because it includes polyglycolethers and polyglycols; eyes should avoid contact while hands need thorough washing afterward and victims must flush eyes under running water for 15 minutes when contact does occur before seeking medical assistance in case of irritation. After drinking water you should induce vomiting but always get immediate medical care. Take care to wash off any brake fluid spills instantly since it damages painted or plastic surfaces. Commence brake caliper removal operations by elevating the vehicle and later taking off the wheel together with the tire assembly. The installation of forward-of-axle brake calipers requires eliminating both stone shields and mounting nuts first. Move forward by uninstalling the caliper pin bolts followed by the banjo bolt where copper washers must be discarded. New washers should be positioned before installing the banjo bolt. Uninstall the rear disc brake caliper before installing it again by following the uninstall steps in reverse order then bleeding the brake system.

  Q: How to bleed the brake caliper on Ford Excursion?

  A:

  Begin brake caliper bleeding by putting a box end wrench on the disc brake caliper bleeder screw and connecting this screw to a rubber drain tube which should be placed in a solution of partially filled clean brake fluid. The procedure requires your assistant to both pump the Brake Pedal before keeping steady pressure on it. The assistant must apply pedal pressure as you open the brake caliper bleeder screw to release brake fluid before tightening it under their maintaining hand pressure. The procedure can be executed several times to obtain clean bubble-free fluid while simultaneously topping up the brake master cylinder reservoir when needed. The procedure for tightening the disc brake caliper bleeder screw should follow the designated torque requirement.
