Removal
WARNING: Do not use any fluid other than clean brake fluid meeting manufacturer's specification. Additionally, do not use brake fluid that has been previously drained. Following these instructions will help prevent system contamination, brake component damage and the risk of serious personal injury.
WARNING: Carefully read cautionary information on product label. For EMERGENCY MEDICAL INFORMATION seek medical advice. In the USA or Canada on Ford/Motorcraft products call: 1-800-959-3673. For additional information, consult the product Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) if available. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Always install new brake shoes or pads at both ends of an axle to reduce the possibility of brakes pulling vehicle to one side. Failure to follow this instruction may result in uneven braking and serious personal injury.
CAUTION: Brake fluid is harmful to painted and plastic surfaces. If brake fluid is spilled onto a painted or plastic surface, immediately wash it with water.
1. Check the brake fluid level in the brake master cylinder reservoir.
^ If required, remove the fluid until the brake master cylinder reservoir is half full.
2. Remove the wheel and tire.
3. CAUTION: Do not allow the brake caliper to hang by the flexible brake hose or damage to the hose may occur.
Remove the 2 brake caliper guide pin caps and bolts and position the caliper and brake pad assembly aside.
^ Support the caliper using mechanic's wire.
^ Remove and discard the guide pin bushings.
^ Inspect the guide pin threads for damage, install new guide pin(s) as necessary.

Install new brake hardware as follows:
^ Apply equal amounts of the supplied white lubricant to the inside of the guide pin bushings.
^ Install the guide pin bushings into the caliper bores.
^ Install the guide pins into the bushings.
3. Install the brake pads to the caliper.
4. Position the caliper onto the anchor plate and install the 2 brake caliper guide pin bolts.
^ To install, tighten to 38 Nm (28 lb-ft).
^ Clean and dry guide pin threads as necessary.
5. Install the wheel and tire.
6. Apply the brake several times to verify correct brake operation.
