How to Replace the Brake Pads on a Ford Transit

Model: Ford Transit MK 8 - Years 2014-2024
Part: Brake pads

To replace the brake pads on a Ford Transit, park the vehicle on a flat surface, engage the handbrake, and slightly loosen the wheel nuts. Lift the vehicle with a jack, secure it with axle stands, and remove the wheel. Unscrew the brake caliper bolts and carefully move it without letting the weight rest on the brake line. Remove the worn pads and clean the seating area of dust and debris. Using a special tool, push the caliper piston back to its initial position, then insert the new pads ensuring they are correctly fitted. Reposition the caliper, tighten the bolts to the specified torque, and remount the wheel. After the job, press the brake pedal several times to bring the pads into contact with the disc and check the proper functioning of the system before returning the vehicle to the road.

This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
