Darthsnipe Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Has anyone tried to replace brake pads on a 2013 Ford Fusion? I have a 2013 Ford Fusion 1.6 SE (17-inch wheels) and need to replace the the rear brake pads. Are there any special things I need to do in preparation for this procedure? Are the rear brake calipers for this vehicle dual piston or single piston? I am just trying to prepare for this brake job as it would be my first time ever doing a DIY brake job. Any information or experience feedback is greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT90SC Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 The Park brake system must be put into service mode. Otherwise it is a normal brake job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthsnipe Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 The Park brake system must be put into service mode. Otherwise it is a normal brake job. How would I do that? This is my first brake job so I do need some guidance. I'm still wondering if this is a single or dual piston brake caliper (This came up when I was looking up some videos on how to do some brake jobs). Also, I know that I have to grease something but I don't know what and where to apply the grease on Ford brake jobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twintornados Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) How would I do that? This is my first brake job so I do need some guidance. I would recommend you have a licensed mechanic perform the service and have the peace of mind of it being done correctly. Not minimizing your ability, but if you not 100% sure of what you are doing....a "simple brake job" is anything but.... This is from the Ford Service website....

Dave-S Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 (edited) Here is a thread that ought to answer your questions. It appears the caliper is single piston as well. http://www.fordfusionforum.com/topic/12618-2013-rear-caliper-question/ Edited June 21, 2015 by Dave-S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
