How to Change the front brakes

Ford Escape front brakes
In order to change the front brakes on a Ford Escape you must first jack the vehicle up into the air and remove the tire for the side that you want to change. Once the tire has been removed you can see the brake rotor and the brake pads within the caliper. To install new brake pads you only have to remove the brake caliper and swap out the pads. When reinstalling the brake caliper you must torque the caliper sliding bolts to 24 ft-lbs. If you need to remove the entire brake bracket for any job when you go to reinstall it make sure to torque its bolts to 100 ft-lbs.

How to change the rear brakes

Ford Escape Rear brakes
The rear brakes on the Ford Escape are disc brakes which are very similar to the front brakes. To replace them you must first remove the brake caliper bracket and then release the caliper bolts from the bracket itself. From here you can remove the old brake pads from the brake caliper and then install new brake pads in the same spots. From here bolt the brake bracket back onto the car and squeeze the caliper and pads onto the brake rotor. Sometimes the calipers piston will be too far out and you will need to release its tension. A good method for this is to use a C clamp and tighten down on the piston. Make sure to always use an old brake pad between the two surfaces so that nothing ends up broken. With the piston down the caliper and pads should slide over the brake rotor without any issues. You can then tighten up the caliper bolts to 25 ft-lbs and the brake bracket to 70 ft-lbs.
