How Do You Change The Brake Pads On A 1994 Ford Taurus?
The 1994 Ford Taurus comes with front disc brakes and may also come equipped with rear disc or rear drum brakes. Replacing the front brakes in the Taurus is a relatively unchanged process no matter what year it is; the rear disc brakes employ a different procedure to retract the caliper piston than do the front. A special tool is required to screw the rear caliper piston into the caliper bore. Otherwise, the procedure is quite similar to the front brake pad replacement. Remove the cover to the master cylinder and then siphon out 1/3 of the brake fluid from inside it. Discard the old fluid appropriately. Replace the cover to the master cylinder. Loosen the wheel nuts with wheel nut wrench before lifting the Taurus. Lift the Taurus, one side at a time, with the jack and then support each frame rail gently onto a jack stand. Finish removing the wheel nuts and wheels. Remove the brake pin retainers using a ratchet and a socket set. Remove the caliper and support it to the strut spring usin
