Brake Disc

Removal and Installation
1. Remove the brake caliper anchor plate.





2. Remove and discard the brake disc retainers

3. NOTE: If the brake disc will not come off, lubricate the brake disc where it contacts the hub assembly using Rust Penetrant and Inhibitor F2AZ-19A501-A or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESR-M99C56-A. Strike the disc between the wheel bolts with a plastic hammer. If this does not work, attach 2-3 jaw puller 205-D027 (D80L-1013-A) or equivalent and remove the brake disc.

NOTE: If excessive force must be used during disc removal, the disc must be checked for runout.

Remove the brake disc.
4. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
^ Clean the hub and disc mating surfaces and apply a light coat of High Temperature Nickel Anti-Seize Lubricant F6AZ-9L494-AA or equivalent meeting Ford specification ESE-M12A4-A to the pilot diameter of the disc.
