Q: How to replace calipers due to fluid leakage on Ford Mustang?
A: If replacement is necessary due to fluid leakage, it is recommended to replace the calipers rather than overhauling them. New or factory rebuilt units can be easily obtained on an exchange basis. Always replace the calipers in pairs, never just one. To remove the caliper, start by loosening the wheel lug nuts and raising the vehicle on jackstands. Remove the wheels and then disconnect the brake hose from the caliper by removing the inlet fitting bolt. Remember to discard the sealing washers and plug the brake hose to prevent contamination. If the caliper is being removed for access to another component, use wire to hang it securely out of the way. For rear caliper replacement, disconnect the Parking Brake Cable by removing the retaining clip and then removing the cable from the linkage on the caliper. To install the caliper, simply reverse the removal procedure. Finally, bleed the brake circuit, check for leaks, and test the brakes before returning the vehicle to normal service.
