Mechanical Brakes

2001~2002 Ford ExplorerSportTrac's have stock Front Disc Brakes & Rear Drum Brakes, as is this vehicle, & then later 2003~2011 Ford ExplorerSportTrac's have stock Disc Brakes both on the Front & on the Rear. Brake fluid per the specification in the OwnersGuide is GlycolEtherBased type DOT3 BoilingPoint401f; also DOT4 BoilingPoint446f or DOT5.1 BoilingPoint500f may be used or mixed. Beware, SiliconeBased type DOT5 is NOT compatible & should NOT be used\mixed with GlycolEtherBased DOT3\4\5.1 fluids. Thus preference is DOT4 considering its higher BoilingPoint, compatibility, availability & reasonable cost. Size & Torq specs for the Brake bolts are as follows:
 * Front Disc MtngBolts 2ea \ ?m???oDia~?m???Thrd*?m???Long*0m015HxHd \ 85.00pf=115.2nmTorq
 * Front Disc SlideBolts 2ea \ ?m???oDia~?m???Thrd*?m???Long*0m013HxHd \ 24.00pf=33.54nmTorq
