Q: How to remove and install Brake Caliper on Ford Explorer Sport Trac?
A: Apply the parking brake and block the wheels opposite the end being worked on. Loosen the wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Remove the wheel. Unscrew the brake hose banjo bolt and detach the hose from the caliper. Separate the caliper from the steering knuckle (front) or the torque plate (rear) - it's part of the brake pad replacement procedure. Note: On 2004 and later models, use new stainless-steel slippers when reinstalling the calipers. Connect the brake hose to the caliper, using new sealing washers. Tighten the banjo bolt. Bleed the brakes. This is not necessary if the banjo bolt was not loosened or removed (if the caliper was removed for access to other components, for example). Install the wheel and lower the vehicle. Tighten the lug nuts. Pump the brake pedal several times to bring the pads into contact with the disc. Test the operation of the brakes before placing the vehicle into normal service.
