Disassembly
1.
Remove the caliper assembly
from the vehicle as outlined in Section
2.
2.
Remove the caliper locating pins
from the caliper assembly and lift the
anchor plate from the caliper.
3.
Slide the two outer shoe retain-
ing clips off the retaining pins (Fig.
43).
4.
Remove the two retaining pins,
then remove the outer brake shoe
from the caliper.
5.
Slide the inner brake shoe out-
ward until it is free of the hold-down
springs, then remove the brake shoe.
6. Apply air pressure to the fluid
port in the caliper with a rubber
tipped nozzle (Tool 7000-DD) as
shown in Fig. 44 to remove the piston.
Place a cloth over the piston before
applying air pressure to prevent dam-
age to the piston. If the piston is

caliper, tap lightly around the piston
while applying air pressure. Care
should be taken because the piston
can develop considerable force due to
pressure build-up.
7.
Remove the dust boot from the
caliper assembly.
8. Remove the rubber piston seal
from the cylinder and discard it.
Cleaning and Inspection
Clean all metal parts with isopropyl
alcohol or a suitable solvent. Use
clean, dry, compressed air to clean out
and dry the grooves and passage ways.
Be sure that the caliper bore and com-
ponent parts are completely free of
any foreign material.
Check the cylinder bore and piston
for damage or excessive wear. Replace
the piston if it is pitted, scored, or the
chrome plating is worn off.
Assembly
1.
Apply a film of clean brake fluid
to the new caliper piston seal and in-
stall it in the cylinder bore. Be sure
the seal does not become twisted and
that it is seated fully in the groove.
2.
Install a new dust boot by setting
the flange squarely in the outer groove
of the caliper bore.
3.
Coat the piston with the speci-
fied fluid and install the piston in the
cylinder bore. Spread the dust boot
over the piston as it is installed. Seat
the dust boot in the piston groove.
4.
Position the inner brake shoe so
that the ears of the shoe rests on the
top of the anchor plate bosses and be-
neath the hold-down springs.
5.
Install new caliper locating pin
insulators in the anchor plate.
6. Position the caliper on the an-
chor plate.
7.
Apply water or isopropyl alcohol
to the caliper locating pins and install
them loosely in the anchor plate. Be
sure the guide pins are free of oil,
grease or dirt.
8. Install the caliper on the spindle
as outlined under Disc Brake Caliper
Assembly.
LINCOLN CONTINENTAL
Disassembly
Do not remove the bridge bolts that
hold the two halves of the caliper to-
gether. The two caliper housings are
shown separated in Fig. 46 for illus-
tration purposes only.
1.
Remove the caliper assembly
from the car as outlined in Section 2.
2.
Remove the two attaching bolts
and the caliper splash shield (Fig. 46).
3.
Remove the two shoe and lining
assemblies.
4.
Remove the flexible brake hose
from the caliper.
5.
Remove the external transfer
tube.
6. Remove the four dust boots from
the caliper housings and piston
grooves.
7.
Clamp the caliper in a vise and
secure it by the mounting flanges on
the inboard housing (Fig. 45).
8. Remove the four pistons from
the cylinder bores with the special tool
shown in Fig. 45. To prevent cocking
with consequent damage to the piston
or bore, rotate the piston with the tool
while pulling it outward at the same
time.
Be careful to avoid scratching or
damaging the outside diameter surface
or dust boot retaining groove of the
piston. Such damage causes poor seal-
ing.
If a piston is so completely seized in
the cylinder bore that it can not be re-
moved with the special tool, the cali-
per housing must be replaced, by posi-
tioning two screwdrivers in the piston
dust boot retaining groove and prying
outward. To prevent cocking, tap the
end of the piston lightly around the
circumference with a hammer, while
the prying force is being applied. Be
careful to avoid damaging the dust
boot retainer in the caliper housing
(Fig. 46). If this method of removal is
used, the pistons must be replaced.
If the caliper dust boot retainer or
retaining groove is damaged or
scratched, pry the retainer out of the
caliper housing with screwdrivers.

4.
Connect a tachometer, start the
engine and operate it at idle speed
until the reservoir fluid temperature
reaches 165 to 175. This temperature
must be maintained throughout the
test. Valve B may be partially closed
to create a back pressure up to 350
psi to hasten the temperature rise. The
reservoir fluid must be at the proper
level.
5.
With the engine operating at rec-
ommended idle rpm and fluid temper-
ature noted in Step 4, close the manu-
al valve B. The minimum acceptable
pressure reading is 620 psi.
6. If the pressure gauge reading is
below the minimum specification, the
pump is at fault and should be re-
paired with necessary parts.
7.
If the reading is at or above the
minimum specification, the pump flow
is normal. Open manual valve B and
proceed to the Pump Fluid Pressure
Test.
PUMP FLUID
PRESSURE TEST
1.
Keep the lines and tools con-
nected as in the Pump Flow Test.
2.
With manual valves A and B
opened fully, operate the engine at
recommended idle speed (Fig. 2).
Close manual valve A, then manual
valve B. Do not keep both valves
closed for more than 5 seconds as this
would abnormally increase the fluid
temperature and cause undue pump
and/or gear wear.
3.
With the valves fully closed, the
pressure gauge should read 1000 psi
minimum for Ford, Mercury, Meteor
or Thunderbird and 750 psi minimum
for Cougar, Fairlane, Falcon, Monte-
go or Mustang.
4.
If the pressure gauge reading is
below the minimum specification, the
pump is at fault and should be re-
paired with necessary parts.
5.
If the pressure gauge reading is
at or above the minimum specifica-
tions,
the pump is normal and the
power steering gear or power assist
control valve is at fault.
FLUID PRESSURE TEST-
LINCOLN CONTINENTAL AND
CONTINENTAL MARK III
The pressure testing gauge set, tool
T56L-33610-D, requires modification
to make it adaptable for installation
in the power steering hydraulic sys-
tem. The parts required and the modi-
fication procedure are as follows:

a. Power Steering Pressure Line
(refer to the appropriate Parts Catal-
og).
b.
Inverted Flare Connector (3/8
inch OD Tube x 1/4 inch Pipe
Thread).
c. Inverted Flare Connector (5/16
inch OD Tube x 1/4 inch Pipe
Thread).
d. Flared Tube Female Coupling
(3/8 inch OD Tube x 1/4 inch Pipe
Thread).
The connectors and the coupling are
standard-type fittings and can be pur-
chased locally.
e. To modify tool T56L-33610-D,
remove the hose from the hand shut-
off valve block. Install the 3/8 inch x
1/4 inch inverted flare connector in
the valve block, and assemble the
pressure line to the connector (Fig. 3).
Assemble the 3/8 x 1/4 inch coupling
and the 5/16-inch connector to the
free end of the hose leading to the.
pressure gauge.
1.
To check the pump pressure, dis-
connect the front and rear sections of
the pressure line over the number 6
cylinder. Connect the modified pres-
sure-testing gauge assembly, tool
T56L-3361O-D, between the two sec-
tions.
2.
Make sure the hand-valve at the
gauge is fully opened. Start the engine
and cycle the steering gear from stop
to stop to warm up the fluid. Check
the fluid level in the reservoir and add
fluid, if necessary.
3.
Turn the steering wheel to the
full right and full left turn positions
and observe the gauge readings.
Hold the wheels in this position
only long enough to obtain an accu-
rate reading. Do not exceed 5 seconds.
The gauge should read between
1120 and 1250 psi. If the pressure is
less than 1120 psi, close the valve at
the gauge and note the pump pressure.
If it is low with the valve closed, it in-
dicates that the pump is not operating
properly. If the pressure goes up with
the valve closed, it indicates that the
low pressure in the system must be
due to internal leakage in the power
unit, providing all connections are
tight.
4.
Remove the pressure testing
gauge set, and connect the pressure
line at the steering gear. Fill and bleed
the system.
FRONT WHEEL ALIGNMENT
CHECKS
Do not attempt to check and adjust
front wheel alignment without first
making a preliminary inspection of
the front-end parts. Refer to Section
3.
Check all the factors of front wheel
alignment except the turning angle
before making any adjustments. The
turning angle should be checked only
after caster, camber, and toe-in have
been adjusted to specifications.
The front wheel alignment specifica-
tions given in Part 3-13, are correct
only when the vehicle is at curb load.
Before checking or adjusting the
alignment factors, the suspension
alignment spacers must be installed to
obtain the curb Height.
EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
Equipment used for front wheel
alignment inspection must be accu-
rate.
Whenever possible, front wheel
alignment checks should be performed
on stationary wheel aligning equip-
