WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Ford Ranger, 2003 Ford Ranger, and 2002 Ford Ranger. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  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 pistons, caliper bore, seal grooves and boot grooves for wear or damage. If pistons or bores are scored, corroded or worn, replace caliper. Replace anti-rattle clip, caliper support spring and key.
