Front

Removal
1. Raise vehicle on hoist.
2. Remove wheel and tire assembly. Be careful to avoid damage or interference with caliper bleeder screw fitting and front disc brake rotor shield.

3. CAUTION: Handle front disc brake rotor and disc brake caliper assembly in such a way as to prevent deformation of front disc brake rotor, and nicking, scratching or contamination of brake linings/rotor surfaces.

NOTE: To prevent damage, do not allow disc brake caliper to hang by the front brake hose.

Remove caliper anchor plate bolts and discard. Position disc brake caliper out of the way. Prevent separation of caliper housing from anchor bracket because contamination of guide pin journals can occur.

4. NOTE: If excessive force must be used during front disc brake rotor removal, the front disc brake rotor should be checked for runout prior to installation.

If additional force is required to remove front disc brake rotor, apply Rust Penetrant and Inhibitor F2AZ-19A501-A or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESR-M99C56-A on front and rear rotor/hub mating surfaces. First, strike front disc brake rotor between lug bolts with a plastic hammer. If this does not work, attach 2-3 Jaw Puller 205-D027 (DB0L-1013-A) or equivalent and remove front disc brake rotor. Remove front disc brake rotor from wheel hub assembly by pulling it off the lug bolts.


Installation
1. If original front disc brake rotor is being installed, make sure rotor braking and mounting surfaces are clean.

2. CAUTION: Failure to clean rust and foreign material from rotor and hub mounting faces when installing new or old front disc brake rotors will result in high rotor runout, which will speed up the development of brake roughness shudder vibration.

Apply a small amount of Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound D7AZ-19A331-A or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESE-M1C171-A to pilot diameter of front disc brake rotor.
3. Install front disc brake rotor on wheel hub assembly.
4. Install disc brake caliper and new caliper anchor bracket bolts on front disc brake rotor. Tighten caliper anchor bracket bolts to 88 - 118 Nm (65 - 87 ft. lbs.).

5. CAUTION: Failure to tighten lug nuts in a star pattern may result in high rotor runout, which will speed up the development of brake roughness, shudder and vibration.

Install wheel and tire assembly on vehicle. Tighten lug nuts to 115 - 142 Nm (85 - 104 ft. lbs.) using Rotunda Accutorq Lug Nut Socket 164-R0303 or equivalent on a 1/2 inch air impact wrench, or use a torque wrench.
6. Lower vehicle.
7. Pump brake pedal prior to moving vehicle to position brake linings.
8. Road test vehicle.
