1964 Falcon Ranchero Project Front Disc Brakes Installation - Mustangs and Fords Magazine
The two calipers on top of their respective mounting brackets are shown above the rotors. Directly beneath the calipers are the brake-pad retaining plates, with the brake pads shown on either side of the calipers. At right, we see the new flex brake lines that lead to the caliper. The new dual-reservoir master cylinder is seen at top right, and beneath the master is the rear-brake proportioning valve. In the front wheelhouse of our 64 Ranchero, were disconnecting the hard brake line from the old flex hose. Always use a line wrench when working with these brake fittings. If you dont use a line wrench, youll risk rounding off the fittings on the hard line. These Ford-manufactured dust shields can be slightly oversized. Be sure you dont ignore this condition or youll never get both caliper mounting bolts started properly into the mounting bracket. Next, seat the seal in place on the inner edge of the rotor and tap the seal gently with a light hammer to seat. At this point, its a good idea to use some brake cleaner or similar product to clean any grease or other crud off the rotor surface. Source: www.mustangandfords.com
