Brake Caliper Anchor Plate

Removal and Installation

1. Remove the brake pads.





2. Remove the bolts and the brake caliper anchor plate. Discard the bolts.

3. Note: Do not remove the anchor plate guide pins unless installing new pins.

Inspect the anchor plate guide pins. They should slide in and out of the anchor plate with no binding. Check the boots for cracks or tears. If the pins do not slide easily or the boots are cracked or torn, install new pins. Lubricate the pins using Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound D7AZ-19A331-A or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESE-M1C171-A.
4. Clean the anchor plate brake pad contact area.
5. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
