Brake calipers are cast iron parts in your disc brake that house the brake pads. When you step on the brake pedal, caliper pistons cause the caliper to squeeze on a pair of pads. The pads make contact with the brake rotor, causing friction, and resulting in your Ford to slow down or stop.

Common Mistakes When Replacing a Caliper

Brake calipers are intended to be replaced periodically. Here are some common mistakes to avoid during caliper installation:

Installing the caliper upside-down

Installing the brake pads backwards

Failing to lubricate the caliper slide pin bores and bushings

Failing to ensure a clean caliper mounting bracket

Improper reinstallation of the caliper leading to it dangling by the hose
