Rear

Removal
1. Remove brake master cylinder cap and check fluid level in brake master cylinder reservoir. Remove brake fluid until brake master cylinder reservoir is half full. Discard removed fluid.
2. Raise vehicle on hoist.
3. Remove wheel and tire assembly.
4. Remove rear disc brake caliper bolts.
5. Lift rear disc brake caliper assembly from rear disc brake caliper anchor plate and rear disc brake rotor using a rotating motion.

6. CAUTION: Do not pry directly against rear disc brake piston and adjuster or damage to piston will occur.

Remove inner and outer rear brake shoe and lining assemblies.

7. Inspect both rear disc brake rotor braking surfaces. Minor scoring or buildup of lining material does not require machining or replacement of rear disc brake rotor. Hand-sand glaze from both rear disc brake rotor braking surfaces using garnet paper 100-A (medium grit) or aluminum oxide 150-J (medium).
8. Suspend rear disc brake caliper with wire. Use care not to damage rear disc brake caliper or stretch rear wheel brake hose.

Installation
1. CAUTION: Extra care must be taken during this procedure to prevent damage to caliper piston. Metal or sharp objects cannot come into direct contact with piston surface or damage will result.

Use a 4-inch C-clamp and wood block 70 mm x 25 mm (2-3/4-inch x 1-inch) and approximately 19 mm (3/4 inch) thick to seat hydraulic caliper piston in its bore. This provides necessary clearance for rear disc brake caliper assembly to fit over rear disc brake rotor during installation.

2. Remove all rust buildup from inside of outer shoe contact area.






3. Install inner rear brake shoe and lining in caliper piston and outboard surface of caliper. Do not bend shoe clips during installation in caliper piston or distortion and rattles can occur.
4. Install correct outer rear brake shoe and lining. Make sure clips are properly seated.
5. Install rear disc brake caliper over rear disc brake rotor. Refer to Caliper, Installation. Service and Repair

6. 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, using Rotunda Accutorq Lug Nut Sockets 164-R0303 or equivalent on 1/2 inch drive air impact wrench or torque wrench to tighten lug nuts to 115-142 N-m (85-105 lb-ft).

7. Top off brake fluid with High Performance DOT-3 Brake Fluid C6AZ-19542-AA or DOT-3 equivalent meeting Ford specification ESA-M6C25-A.
8. Pump brake pedal prior to moving vehicle to position rear brake shoes and linings.
9. Road test vehicle.
