How To Replace Front Brake Pads And Rotors on Rear Wheel Drive Vehicles

Brake Pad and Rotor Replacement - Front RWD

How To Replace Brake pad And Rotor


FOR PREVIOUS PART GO TO PART 1:

Step 31 - While holding the rotor and bearing hub together, flip the unit over and hold up on the brake rotor.

Flip Rotor and Hub
Step 32 - Install rotor mounting bolts while holding the rotor upward. Make sure all bolts are threaded in before tightening.

Reinstall Rotor Mounting Bolts
Step 32 - Using a impact wrench or socket wrench, tighten the mounting bolts evenly to ensure a square mount against the bearing hub.

Tighten Rotor Mounting Bolts

Step 33 - Next, layout the axle bearings, grease seal, spindle retainer and washer for cleaning.

Axle Bearings Grease Seal Spindle Washer Retainer
Step 34 - Once lined up clean each part using a shop towel. The old grease inside the bearing will be forced out in the next step.

Clean Axle Bearings Grease Seal Spindle Washer Retainer
Step 35 - Re-align components to be installed, ready for assembly.

Cleaned Axle Bearings Grease Seal Spindle Washer Retainer
Step 36 - Axle bearing grease is used to lubricate the axle bearing while in use.

Axle Bearing Grease
Step 37 - Scoop a hardy amount of grease out of the container and transfer it to the palm of the opposite hand. (This is where vinyl gloves come in handy.)

Grease Dollop
Step 38 - While grasping each bearing, thrust the grease into the bearing, while forcing the old grease out. Continue this action until both bearings are complete.

Packing Bearings
Step 39 - With an additional grease dollop, coat inner and outer bearing races.

Apply Grease
Step 40 - Once the grease has been applied, reinstall the inner bearing (cone down).

Install Inner Bearing
Step 41 - After the bearing has been installed, set the grease seal into place, (cone lip outward).

Set Grease Seal
Step 42 - Using flat bar stock or equivalent, hammer the seal into the bearing hub, continue until flush.

Grease Seal Installation
Step 43 - With a clean shop towel, wipe the outside surface of the bearing hub. (Note: Keep cleaner out from bearing area.)

Wipe Outer Surface
Step 44 - Then, using carburetor cleaner and a clean shop towel clean the rotor braking surface.

Cleaning Rotor Brake Surface
Step 45 - Next, gently turn the rotor assembly over and apply grease to the outer bearing race.

Grease Outer Bearing Race
Step 46 - Install the outer axle bearing (cone down) and seal with a layer of grease.

Install Outer Axle Bearing
Step 47 - Once the outer bearing has been installed, use a clean shop towel and cleaner to free the surface from grease and dirt, the assembly is ready to install.

Clean Rotor Braking Surface

Step 48 - Lift the hub and rotor while using both thumbs to hold the outer bearing in place as it is slide back into position. Some resistance may be experienced, a slight jostling may be required.

Installing Brake Rotor and Bearing Hub
Step 49 - Once the bearing hub rotor assembly is back into place, install the spindle washer.

Spindle Washer
Step 50 - After installing the spindle washer, install the nut and tighten to bring up the slack but do not tighten.

Install Spindle Nut

Step 51 - This part is important, if not done correctly it can cause the bearings to fail. While turning the rotor tighten (light snug) and loosen several times.

how to replace Throttle position sensor on 2000 ford expedition

Image
Ford TPS Sensor Replacement Throttle Position Sensor The Throttle Position (TP) sensor is a potentiometer that provides a signal to the PCM that is directly proportional to the throttle plate position. The TP sensor is mounted on the side of the throttle body and is connected to the throttle plate shaft. The TP sensor monitors throttle plate movement and position, and transmits an appropriate electrical signal to the PCM. These signals are used by the PCM to adjust the air/fuel mixture, spark timing and EGR operation according to engine load at idle, part throttle, or full throttle. The TP sensor is not adjustable. The TP sensor receives a 5 volt reference signal and a ground circuit from the PCM. A return signal circuit is connected to a wiper that runs on a resistor internally on the sensor. The further the throttle is opened, the wiper moves along the resistor, at wide open throttle, the wiper essentially creates a loop between the reference signal and the signal return ret...

Ford TFI-IV System Details And Diagrams

Image
Ford Engine TFI-IV System GENERAL INFORMATION See Figures 1 and 2 Fig. Fig. 1: TFI schematic Fig. Fig. 2: Exploded view of the TFI components The Thick Film Integrated (TFI-IV) ignition system uses a camshaft driven distributor with no centrifugal or vacuum advance. The distributor has a diecast base, incorporating a Hall effect stator assembly. The TFI-IV system module is mounted on the distributor base, it has 6 pins and uses an E-Core ignition coil, named after the shape of the laminations making up the core. The TFI-IV module supplies voltage to the Profile Ignition Pick-up (PIP) sensor, which sends the crankshaft position information to the TFI-IV module. The TFI-IV module then sends this information to the EEC-IV module, which determines the spark timing and sends an electronic signal to the TFI-IV ignition module to turn off the coil and produce a spark to fire the spark plug. The operation of the universal distributor is accomplished through the H...
