Removal & Installation (Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis and Town Car)

  1. Raise and support vehicle. Remove front wheels.
  2. Remove 2 caliper anchor bolts and discard. Remove front disc brake caliper/front disc brake anchor plate assembly from the front wheel spindle and the front disc brake rotor. If the front brake caliper does not require servicing, it is not necessary to disconnect the front brake hose. Position the front disc brake caliper out of the way, and support it with a wire to avoid damaging the disc brake caliper or stretching the front brake hose.
  3. Mark the front disc brake rotor and lug bolt position to aid assembly. Punch out the mandrels from the rotor-to-hub rivets. Using a 9.5-mm (3/8-in.) drill, remove the heads from the rotor-to-hub rivets.
    4. NOTE: If the front disc brake rotor does not come off easily, apply Rust Penetrant and Inhibitor, then strike the front disc brake rotor between the lug bolts with a soft-faced hammer.
  4. Remove the front disc brake rotor from the wheel hub. If necessary, remove any remaining chips or rivet sleeves. To install, reverse removal procedure. Rivet the front disc brake rotor to the wheel hub. Bleed brakes. See BLEEDING BRAKE SYSTEM .
