  Q: How to Ensure Proper Brake Pads Maintenance on a Ford Ranger?

  A:

  The process of fixing brake pads starts by supporting the vehicle through its elevation before removing the wheel assembly with its tire. Service professionals should swap worn-out pad materials when their thickness goes beyond manufacturer standards from plate metal or bolts while conducting axle pad replacements. The inspection of pads must occur before removing the lower caliper bolt and disc Brake Caliper rotation to obtain pads and stainless steel slippers which need discarding. The Brake Disc and hub need replacement if their minimum thickness measurement fails to reach specification points; Ford recommends performing brake disc resurfacing on the vehicle using lathe manufacturer recommendations. Perform a leak check on the caliper brake because removing it will be needed if leakage is discovered. The relocation of anchor pins must be limited to installation where new ones are used. Check the operation smoothness of anchor plate guide pins before testing the boots for damage. Replace new pins and boots with Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound XG6 or equivalent Ford specification ESEMlC171A for lubrication. New installation of stainless steel slippers must happen during brake pad replacement while following proper positioning against the anchor plate rail outboard end. First clean the slipper mating surfaces of anchor plate while documenting the inboard pad indicators. Then put in the new stainless steel pad slippers and verify antirattle spring integrity. Last apply a C-clamp and wooden block to pneumatically squeeze caliper pistons before downward caliper rotation. Complete the installation by mounting the caliper bolt after which you must install both wheel and tire components before conducting a brake system check.

  Q: How to service and repair brake pads on Ford Ranger?

  A:

  A service or repair of brake pads begins with raising and supporting the vehicle before wheel and tire removal. Service the brake pads by following this step: replace them if they wear down to the thickness that exceeds the metal backing plate or rivets and change them in axle sets only. First inspect the pads for wear and contamination before removing the lower caliper bolt to lift the disc Brake Caliper up for pad removal together with discarding stainless steel slippers. Measure 4x2 vehicle brake components to replace any Brake Disc or hub not meeting specifications yet measure the 4x4 vehicle brake disc for replacement when out of specifications. The brake disc requires resurfacing and Ford advises machining it on the vehicle using lathe manufacturer guidelines. Perform a leak check on disc brake calipers because a disassembly is needed in case leaks are detected. Installation should not include removal of anchor pins from their hardware unless you need to change them with new ones. Inspect the anchor plate guide pins for smooth movement and check the boots for cracks or tears; if issues are found, install new boots and pins, lubricating them with Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound D7AZ-19A331-A or an equivalent meeting Ford specification ESE-M1C171-A. Replacement of stainless steel slippers is mandatory with the service brake pad installation, even if they appear undamaged, ensuring they are correctly positioned against the outboard end of the anchor plate rail. First clean both sides of the anchor plate to which the slipper fits before installing new stainless steel pads with slippers. Check the anti-rattle spring for damage and replace it if needed. A C-clamp and wooden block should be used with a piston compressor to prepare new pads (XL22-2001-BA) prior to rotating the disc brake caliper downwards. The last step includes installation of the caliper bolt followed by putting on the wheel and tire before conducting a brake system operation check.
