Start by raising the vehicle, removing wheels, and detaching the brake hose from the caliper. Clean the caliper and use compressed air to remove the piston. Remove dust boot and piston seal, inspect for damage, clean, and reassemble with new components. Lubricate and install the piston, boot, and bolt insulators. Reinstall the caliper, connect brake hose, bleed brakes, and test operation. For 1975-1990 rear calipers, also disconnect the parking brake cable, inspect, and reinstall brake pads. Adjust the piston, reconnect and adjust parking brake, reinstall wheels, and test. For 1991-1992 Mark VII rear calipers, disconnect parking brake, remove caliper, and replace if necessary. Reinstall brake pads, caliper, and slider pins. Clean pinch bolt threads and apply thread-locking compound. Install brake hose with new washers, bleed the system.

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.

When proceeding with the rebuild, it's crucial to ensure that a rebuild kit is available. It's also essential to always rebuild calipers in pairs, never singly.
