michael@obershaw.net Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 When attempting to change the rear brake pads on my 2011 ford edge, I found that on the lower caliper bolt there is some device added to the end of the bolt you need to remove to get at the pads. How do I remove this and the bolt holding the caliper in place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macbwt Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 Wish I could answer your question. I have not had to change out the brakes on my 2011 yet.

WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 I don't see anything special in the 2007 FSM, probably the same on the 2011. Is this on the driver side rear caliper setup? That would include the parking/emergency brake function. Remove the brake caliper flow bolt and position the brake hose aside. Discard the 2 copper washers. Remove the 2 brake caliper guide bolts and the brake caliper. If a leaking or damaged caliper piston boot is found, install a new disc brake caliper.

coronan Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Tisk Tisk. You should not let the caliper hang by the hose. Tie it up with bailing wire. Did you check the guide pin boots for tearing? That will shorten the life of the pads in a hurry if the caliper can not center it self and float away from the rotor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlepse Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 I think it is some sort of vibration dampener. I don't recall exactly what I did since it has been a while but I think I just took the whole thing off as an assembly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macbwt Posted September 9, 2015 Report Share Posted September 9, 2015 Of course bleed them out and change the DOT 4 synthetic fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
