Cleaning & Inspection

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2004 Ford Pickup Heritage, 2004 Ford Pickup, 2003 Lincoln Blackwood, 2003 Ford Pickup, and 2002 Lincoln Blackwood. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: Do not hone the caliper bores. Pistons are not available for honed caliper bores.
  1. Carefully clean rust and corrosion from caliper machined surfaces using a wire brush. DO NOT use wire brush in caliper bores. Clean all components with isopropyl alcohol and dry with compressed air.
  2. Inspect caliper bore, seal grooves and boot grooves for wear or damage. If bores are scored, corroded or worn, replace caliper. Replace anti-rattle clip, caliper support spring and key.
