Ford Repair: Change dis brake pads, liquid wrench, master cyl


Question
Ihave a 2003 Mustang with 42k miles. I need to change the pads all the way around. I started the job but couldnt get the 2 bolts on the caliper to back out so I could remove the caliper. Also do I have to remove all the brake fluil from the master cyl before I start? One last question.After replacing the pads, am I going to have to bleed the lines? Any advice you can give me wil be greatfully appreciated.

Answer
I would recommend that you use DW40 or Liquid Wrench to get the bolts loose. As for your fluid, you will not need to replace and/or bleed the brakes.  As long as the system does not get air into it.  With that said, to guarantee good operation, go ahead and bleed the brakes after you complete the job.  Make sure you start with right rear, then left rear, then right front, then left front.
