1994 Ford Taurus Changing Brakes, Any Help?

For front brakes remove 2 bolts holding on caliper. Compress caliper piston and install new pads. Make sure you pump the brake pedal when your done. I hope this helps.

You can use a big pair of pliers or a c clamp

Stop! Rear calipers are screw in. You must push in anr turn clockwise. Sorry I thought you were doing fronts.

It is very tricky to do even for me. I have a special tool that applies pressure to piston while another one turns it in. But I have done it with regular hand tools. It takes patience, it goes in very slowly. Just keep pressure on it and keep turning.

Yes clamp the piston, but not alot of pressure turn it clockwise a little then push in a little and keep doing that.

Unfortunately there is some testing you have to do. Windows dont work from master switch or either door switch, correct. Now do you know if both rear windows stopped at the exact time. If they did I would suspect the master switch. The door window switches go through the master switch. Aka the rear switches go through the master switch then go to rear windows.

Easiest thing to do is rent the rear brake caliper kit from a local autoparts store, if you have one. Autozone for example. It's free, just put a deposit. Make sure you remove the master cylinder cap. You can tuirn the piston in with a large set of needlenose pliers also, may take some work. Do not buy that stupid little square tool with all the different sized pins on it, it does not fit the Taurus rear caliper. As far as the back windows, it is a common problem, the motors get wet and corrode, every Taurus I've owned and currently own, with the exception of my 99, has experienced this problem. Motors are easily replace after removing panels. Duct-tape the glass up, chop the rivets out, buy some short machine bolts and nuts to re-install. Finding the right length of bolt is critical, not too long.

On the drivers side under the hood near the firewall you will see your master cylinder(all your brake lines go to it) there will be a cap on it. It will say in small print d.O.T.3 brake fluid only. This is your master cylinder cap.

Ok lets stop here. You should not have to bleed the brakes from replacing the pads. I would leave the one that is stripping alone. Make sure your master cylinder is full of dot 3 brake fluid, slowly pump the brake pedal approx 10 times, "slowly" fit helps with 2 people. Have the person hold the brake pedal to the floor while you slightly open the bleeder screw that you can open. When the pedal drops to the floor then you close the bleeder screw.(Make sure you keep the brake pedal applied until you have the bleed screw shut. Repeat procedure until no air comes out. There should be no air in your system due to the fact that you did not have a leak. This should be the end of this brake job. Good job!

There is 2 copper washers that go on the inside and outside of the line going to caliper. I bet you misplaced one of them or you have them in the wrong place. Remember 1 copper washer on each side of line going to caliper.

Yes. Exactly like before. Dont touch that other bleeder that you could not get open. There will be no air over there.
