WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2005 Ford Explorer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Remove the brake caliper anchor plate bolts and position the brake caliper and anchor plate assembly aside.
- Remove the brake disc.
CAUTION:
Do not allow the brake caliper to hang from the brake flexible hose. Use a suitable tool and support the brake caliper.

If the brake disc cannot be removed easily, apply rust penetrant on the brake disc-to-hub mating surfaces.
