1985 FORD GRANADA warning

5Extract the piston seal from the groove in
the bore, using a blunt instrument (see
illustration). Discard the seal and dust boot.
6Clean the piston and bore with methylated
spirit and inspect them for scuffs, scores or
other damage. If the piston is corroded it must
be renewed. Slight imperfections in the bore
can be polished out with wire wool.
7Place the clean component on a clean
surface ready for reassembly. Lubricate the
caliper hose with clean hydraulic fluid.
8Fit the new piston seal to the groove in the
bore, using fingers only to work it into position.
9Lubricate the piston with clean hydraulic
fluid and fit the dust boot over the piston,
making sure it is the right way up. Insert the
piston into the bore and press it home,
engaging the dust boot lip with the groove on
the caliper (see illustration).
10This completes the overhaul of the hydraulic
components. Items such as slide bolts and
bracket can also be renewed if necessary.
11Remove the bleed screw while the caliper
is on the bench and apply a little anti-seize
compound to its threads, to avoid trouble in
undoing it later.
1With the ignition off, pump the brake pedal
at least 20 times (or until it becomes hard) to
depressurise the system.
2Chock the front wheels and release the
handbrake. Slacken the rear wheel nuts, raiseand support the vehicle and remove the
relevant wheel.
3Disconnect the pad wear warning wires,
when fitted.
4Disconnect the flexible hose from the brake
pipe. Plug or cap the open unions to reduce
spillage and to keep dirt out. Unscrew the
flexible hose from the caliper and remove it.
5Remove the two slide bolts. Lift the caliper
off the pads and bracket, at the same time
unhooking the handbrake cable (see
illustrations). Alternatively, the two bracket-
to-hub bolts can be removed and the caliper
and bracket separated on the bench.
6Refit by reversing the removal operations,
but before refitting the wheel, bleed both rear
calipers as described in Section 2.
7When bleeding is complete, pump the brake
pedal several times to bring the pads up to the
disc, then check the operation of the
handbrake.
Note: Complete dismantling of the rear caliper
should not be attempted unless Ford spring
compressor (tool No 12-007) is available. or
unless the problems likely to arise in the absence
of the tool are understood. Renewal of the piston
seal and dust boot requires no special tools.
1Clean the caliper externally and mount it in a
soft-jawed vice.
2Rotate the piston anti-clockwise until it isprotruding from the bore by about 20 mm (0.8 in).
Free the dust boot from the groove in the
piston, then carry on unscrewing the piston
and remove it. Remove and discard the dust
boot.
3The piston and bore may now be cleaned
and examined, and the piston seal and dust
boot renewed, as described for the front
caliper (Section 10).
4The piston adjuster nut seal should also be
renewed. Remove the circlip from the piston,
then extract the thrustwashers, wave washer
and thrust bearing. Note the fitted sequence of
these components. Finally remove the nut
(see illustrations).
5Remove the seal from the nut, noting which
way round it is fitted. Clean the nut with
methylated spirit. Lubricate the new seal with
clean hydraulic fluid and fit it to the nut.

5Unscrew the hose from its union on the
caliper and remove it (see illustration).
6Refit by reversing the removal operations,
then bleed the appropriate part of the
hydraulic system (Section 2). In the case of the
front hoses, check that they are not kinked or
twisted, and that they do not contact other
components when the steering is moved from
lock to lock. Reposition the hose in the
bracket if necessary.
7To remove a rigid pipe, simply undo the
union nuts at the hydraulic unit, hose bracket
or T-piece (see illustration). Free the pipe
from any retaining clips and remove it.
8New pipes can be bought ready-made, with
the unions attached. Some garages and motor
factors will make up pipes to order, using the
old pipe as a pattern. If purchasing proprietary
pipes made of copper alloy or similar material,
follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully
concerning bending, provision of extra clips
etc.
9Fit and secure the new pipe and tighten the
union nuts, bleed the appropriate part of the
hydraulic system (Section 2).
1The handbrake is normally self-adjusting in
use. Adjustment may be required to
compensate for cable stretch over a long
period, and is also necessary after fitting a
new cable.2Chock the front wheels, release the
handbrake and raise and support the rear of
the vehicle.
3Release the adjuster locknut from the
adjuster nut. Back off the adjuster nut,
slackening the cable until both handbrake
levers on the calipers are resting against their
stops (see illustration).
4Paint alignment marks between each
handbrake lever and the caliper body (see
illustration).
5Tighten the adjuster nut until either
handbrake lever just starts to move - as shown
by the alignment marks.
6Apply the handbrake and release it a few
times to equalise the cable runs.
7Tighten the locknut onto the adjuster nut
finger tight, then tighten a further three to six
clicks using self-locking pliers or a peg
spanner.
1Slacken the rear wheel nuts and chock the
front wheels. Raise and support the rear of the
vehicle and remove both rear wheels. Release
the handbrake.
2Slacken off the handbrake cable adjuster
locknut and adjuster nut.
3Free the cable from the equaliser yoke by
removing the circlip and clevis pin (see
illustration). Beware of self-tapping screws
protruding through the floor in this area.4Unhook the cable inner from the handbrake
levers on the calipers. Free the cable outer
from the caliper brackets (see illustration).
5Free the cable from the lower arm and
underbody brackets and remove it.

6Carefully lift off the compressed spring.
Place it where it will not be knocked or jarred.
7Remove the shock absorber gaiter and
bump stop.
8Examine all components for wear and
damage and renew as necessary. The shock
absorber must be renewed if it is leaking, or if
it shows uneven resistance when “worked”
with its lower end clamped in a vice. In theory
springs and shock absorbers should be
renewed in pairs in order to maintain balanced
handling characteristics.
9Commence reassembly by sliding the bump
stop onto the shock absorber piston rod. Refit
the gaiter.
10Make sure that the spring seats are clean,
then fit the compressed spring to the lower
seat.

4Have an assistant support the tailgate.
Disconnect the struts from the tailgate.
5Jam the tailgate latch with a piece of wood
or cardboard so that the tailgate cannot shut.
Lower the tailgate.
6Working inside the vehicle, prise out the
hinge covers from the headlining. Remove the
hinge nuts and recover the washers (see
illustration).
7With the aid of an assistant, lift the tailgate
away from the vehicle.
8Commence refitting by offering the tailgate
to its aperture, aligning the hinges and
reconnecting the struts. Do not allow the
struts alone to support the tailgate until the
hinge nuts have been fitted.
9Fit the hinge nuts and washers. Do not fully
tighten the nuts yet.
10Secure any wiring looms and the washer
tube to the pieces of string used during
removal. (It is to be hoped that a new tailgate
will be supplied with wiring or string in place.)
Draw the wires and tube into position. Tape up
the connectors if necessary to prevent them
snagging.
11Reconnect the wires and the washer tube
and refit the grommets.
12Close and latch the tailgate and adjust its
position so that an even gap exists all round it,
then tighten the hinge nuts.
13Refit the hinge covers and the interior trim
panel.
Estate models
14On Estate models the tailgate can be
removed and refitted as described above,
noting the following points:
a)Prior to removing the interior trim panel. it
will be necessary to remove the upper rear
windscreen trim panel which is retained by
eight screws.
b)When removing the interior trim panel
note that it is retained by fourteen screws;
two are situated behind each of theaccess covers in the centre of the panel.
c)To gain access to the tailgate hinge
retaining nuts it will be necessary to
carefully peelthe headlining away from the
rear trim panel. Therefore if hinge removal
is not strictly necessary, it is
recommended that the hinges are left in
place on the vehicle and the tailgate is
unbolted from the hinges (see
illustration).
1On saloon models, open the boot lid and
using a suitable marker pen, mark the outline
of the hinges on the inside of the lid.
2Unclip the trim panel from the inside of the
lid to gain access to the boot lid lock and
warning switch wiring connectors (see
illustration). Release the wiring loom from the
retaining clips and tie a suitable length of
string to each of the wiring connectors.
Withdraw the wiring loom from the boot lid
until the connectors emerge then untie the
string and leave it in position in the lid; the
string can then be used to draw the wiring
loom back into position on refitting.
3Support the lid with the aid of an assistant
then slacken and remove the four hinge
retaining bolts (accessed from inside the lid)
and remove the boot lid from the car (see
illustration).
4Offer up the boot lid, aligning the hinges
with the marks made on removal, and tightenthe hinge bolts securely. Tie the piece of string
to the wiring loom and use the string to draw
the loom through the boot lid. If a new boot lid
is being installed it will be necessary to
centralise the boot lid on the hinges and feed
the wiring loom through the boot lid, ensuring
that it is correctly routed.
5Reconnect the wiring connectors to the lock
and warning switch.
6Refit the trim panel and check it is securely
held in position by the retaining clips.
7Close the boot lid and check that is
correctly aligned with all surrounding
bodywork with an equal clearance all around.
If necessary, adjustment can be made by
slackening the hinge bolts and repositioning
the boot lid. Once correctly positioned, tighten
the hinge bolts securely.
8Once the boot lid is correctly aligned ensure
that it closes without slamming and is securely
retained. If not, slacken the boot lid striker
retaining bolts and reposition the striker. Once
the boot lid operation is satisfactory tighten
the striker retaining bolts securely.
1This procedure applies to the manually-
operated roof. For removal of the electrically-
operated roof motor, see Chapter 13.
