How to Replace the Rotor in a Mercury Villager

If you notice that your Mercury Villager is starting to vibrate or pulse when you're coming to a stop, it's time to replace those old rotors. Your rotors are probably warped or worn down. You can have them tested and resurfaced, or you can install new rotors.

Instructions

1

Place a jack and jack stands under your Mercury Villager van and block the front and rear tires to keep your van from rolling.

2

Remove the wheel and tire assembly with a socket wrench or air wrench with an appropriate adapter. Remove the caliper bolt and slip the brake pad off of the old rotor. Support the caliper with a piece of mechanic's wire and then remove the old rotor.

3

Clean any debris and dirt and then replace the front disc brake with the new rotor and slide it into position. Secure the new rotor with holding screws and replace the brake caliper and pad and discard the wire.

4

Secure the caliper bolts to the correct torque (29 NM (22 lb/ft)). Replace the wheel and tire assembly and tighten the wheel bolts with a torque wrench.
