Mercury Cougar Brake Caliper
The Brake Caliper in Mercury Cougar vehicles is used in the braking system and change hydraulic pressure from master cylinder into mechanical force. This force is important in applying pressure on the brake pads to the rotors to slow or possibly stop the vehicle The force is also important in apply pressure on the brake pads to the rotors to cause the slowing or stopping of a vehicle. Mercury Cougars utilize two primary types of Brake Calipers: These are the referred to as fixed and float. Fixed calipers have several pistons, on either side of the rotor that presses with fixed force while the floating calipers have a single piston which slides to apply pressure and yields uneven disc wearing if not well serviced. A variety of brake caliper styles have been used in Cougar models over the years, essentially in terms, of construction material and performance characteristics. Stock calipers are adequate for ordinary driving while performance calipers provide better braking and styling for performance oriented conditions. These performance options include cast calipers, right up to lightweight aluminium units and thus they cater for all sorts of applications including the budgetary constraints.

Mercury Cougar Brake Caliper Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How do you remove and overhaul the front brake calipers on Mercury Cougar?A: To remove and overhaul the front brake calipers, start by applying the parking brake and blocking the rear wheels. Loosen the wheel lug nuts, raise the front of the vehicle, and support it on jackstands. Remove the wheel and unscrew the brake hose banjo bolt, detaching the hose from the caliper. Protect the hose end with a plastic bag to prevent fluid loss. If the caliper won't be completely removed, suspend it with wire, avoiding the need to bleed the brake system later. Proceed with the separation of the caliper from the spindle as part of the brake pad replacement procedure. For the overhaul, clean the caliper exterior with brake cleaner or denatured alcohol and place it on a clean workbench. Use compressed air to carefully remove the piston, ensuring it's cushioned and not blown out. Pull out the dust boot from the caliper bore and use a wood or plastic tool to remove the piston seal without causing bore damage. Examine the piston and caliper bore for defects, polishing the bore if needed. Remove the bleeder valve and rubber cap, inspect caliper locating pins and replace if corroded or damaged. Remove caliper locating pin insulators, clean all parts with brake fluid or denatured alcohol, and fit new insulators. Ensure the piston moves freely in the bore, then install the bleeder valve and cap. Lubricate the new piston seal and bore, fit the seal without twisting, and seat the dust boot properly. Lubricate the caliper piston, push it into the caliper using a turning motion, and then use a C-clamp and wood block to push the piston to the bore's bottom while ensuring it remains straight. Seat the dust boot's lip in the piston groove. Caliper installation, connect the brake hose with new sealing washers, and tighten the banjo bolt. Bleed the brakes if the banjo bolt was loosened, reinstall the wheel, lower the vehicle, and tighten the lug nuts before testing the brakes' operation before normal use.
- Q: How to remove and reinstall the rear brake caliper/parking brake actuator assembly on Mercury Cougar?A: For complex procedures involving the rear brake caliper/parking brake actuator assembly, it's best to consult an expert or you can remove the caliper yourself to save on costs. Remove the caliper to take out the rear brake pads, then remove the lower slider pin pinch bolt. Next, disconnect the brake hose from the caliper, wrapping it in a plastic bag to prevent fluid loss. Installation is the reverse of the removal, ensure the caliper is correctly installed over the brake pads.
