  Q: How to service and repair the rear brake pads on Lincoln MKX?

  A:

  Service and repair the rear brake pads after checking the brake master cylinder reservoir contains 1/2 brake fluid or draining out any excess fluid. Erase the wheel combined with tire from the assembly. A person should avoid placing fingers into the caliper sight hole because it might cause damage to pistons. You should never let the Brake Caliper hang from the brake hose to avoid harming the components. The procedure starts with removing the two brake caliper guide pin bolts then setting the caliper aside while supporting it with mechanic's wire. The brakes should receive new replacement pads in complete axle sets when the pad thickness exceeds the acceptable metal plate measurement. The two brake pads along with shims and slide clips need removal during inspection for wear and damage which results in slide clip discarding. During new brake pad installation users must shield caliper boots and pistons before using a suitable tool with worn brake pad for pushing until the piston reaches the bores. Easily install both brake pads and shims with new clips onto the brake caliper anchor plate. The caliper guide pin boots must be fully positioned to prevent any damage and the brake caliper hose must remain straight during installation. Place the brake caliper on the anchor plate before installing two guide pin bolts which should be tightened to 26 Nm (19 ft. lbs). Complete the installation by reinstalling the wheel with the tire followed by filling the reservoir for brake master cylinder with clean fluid of specifications. Then perform a brake test to verify normal operation.

  Q: How to service and repair the front brake pads on Lincoln MKX?

  A:

  You should start the front brake pad servicing by using approved DOT 3 brake fluid which prevents permanent damage to brake components and makes the brakes inoperable which could lead to personal injury. Read all warnings on the product label carefully then obtain urgent medical attention in case of need. In the USA or Canada, for Ford/Motorcraft products, call 1-800-959-3673 for additional information. The brake master cylinder reservoir needs its fluid level checked while removing fluid to achieve a level that occupies 1/2 of the tank capacity if needed. Secondly you must detach the assembly of wheel together with its tire. Using a finger to retract the pistons in the caliper sight hole will cause damage to the components. Keep the Brake Caliper separate from the brake hose because this method will avoid causing damage to the equipment. Secure the caliper with support wire while you remove its two guide pin bolts to position it on the side. Inspection of all components reveals their condition by removing brake pads together with brake pad shims and stainless steel shims. Remove the brake pad slides. The proper installation of new brake pads requires a suitable tool to protect caliper piston and boots and compress the disc brake caliper pistons within the caliper during installation. Apply a thin layer of supplied grease onto both brake pad shims and the shim contact zone of the brake pads before installing the brake pad slides. When installing brake pads users should first place each stainless steel shim onto position ensuring to distinguish the guide pin bolts which differ in length where the longer bolt matches the upper guide pin bolt. Position the brake caliper before you install its two guide pin bolts which need to be tightened to 88 Nm (65 ft. lbs.). After installing the wheel and tire assembly you should fill the brake master cylinder reservoir with clean specified brake fluid to test brake system normal operation.
