Brake Caliper Guide Pins
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Montego, 2005 Ford Freestyle, and 2005 Ford Five Hundred. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Do not use power tools for caliper guide pin bore cleaning.
NOTE:
The guide pins are part of the anchor plate.
The guide pins should slide with a reasonable amount of hand force. If the brake pads show taper wear or the guide pins are difficult to move, install a new brake caliper anchor plate. For additional information, refer to FRONT DISC BRAKE for the front brake caliper anchor plate or REAR DISC BRAKE for the rear brake caliper anchor plate.
Install new brake pads if the lining is not within specifications. For additional information, refer to FRONT DISC BRAKE for front disc brakes or REAR DISC BRAKE for rear disc brakes.
