To overhaul the rear calipers for 1975 through 1990 Continental and Mark series and 1981 through 1988 Town Car, start by raising the vehicle and supporting it securely on jackstands. Remove the rear wheels and disconnect the parking brake cable at the lever. Disconnect the brake hose and plug the end. Remove the calipers, and if necessary, loosen the caliper and retainer to force the piston back into its bore. Clean and inspect the caliper, anchor plate, and disc for corrosion, wear, and fluid leakage. Reinstall the brake pads and caliper, adjusting the piston as needed. Connect and adjust the parking brake cable, install the wheels, and take the vehicle for a test drive to check for proper braking action.

Unscrew the brake hose banjo bolt and detach the hose from the caliper, replacing the sealing washers with new ones. If the caliper won't be entirely removed, leave the hose connected and suspend the caliper with wire to avoid the need for brake system bleeding.

Reassemble the caliper with new parts, ensuring proper lubrication and positioning of seals and boots. Check the piston fit in the bore and install the bleeder valve securely.
