Front Disc Brake: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Ford Mustang. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    CAUTION: Do not use an abrasive sanding disc since it will remove paint or other protective finishes from the wheel or metal from the mounting surfaces, adversely affecting corrosion protection and brake disc lateral runout.
  1. Remove corrosion from the wheel mounting surfaces, both disc mounting surfaces and hub mounting surfaces.
    • Use brake parts cleaner to clean the brake disc and hub surfaces.
    • Apply anti-seize lubricant to the hub mounting surfaces to prevent future corrosion.
  2. Install the brake disc.
  3. Position the brake caliper, brake pads and anchor plate assembly.
    • Install the 2 bolts and tighten to 115 Nm (85 lb-ft).
