My brakes were thorougly worn out, wobbling etc, so i had to renew them. I spent a bit of extra cash and bought a set of second-hand calipers from a Ford Fusion which happens to accept 258mm disks (exact same calipers as the later Puma's).
(It actually turned out to be cheaper! Calipers were ?80 incl. shipping; near-new pads included! New pads are ?100, so you could say I got the calipers for free!)
I made a couple of pictures, and here's the report, perhaps useful for someone else
(Already wiki-fied)
Upgrading the older 239mm brakes on the Puma to later-spec 258mm.
Parts you'll need:
- 258mm Calipers, see list at end of article
- Brake disks (ATE disks used in this wiki)
- Pads (Ford pads used in this wiki, supplied with calipers)
Consumables you'll need:
- Brake cleaner
- Penetrating oil (WD40-alike)
- Brake fluid (DOT4 or DOT5.1)
- Copper grease
- Rope
- Anti-corrosion spray (I used old gearbox oil)
Tools you'll need:
- Screwdriver
- Various sockets
- Various wrenches
- Pipe wrench
- Steel brush
Prep-work:
Prepare the new calipers; make sure they operate smoothly, check the bleeding screws for operation, check the pads and install them (use a bit of copper grease on the sliding parts).
Loosen the wheel nuts and jack up the front of the car. Securely support it on jackstands.
When working on the left side, turn the wheel to the left (to allow easier access to the caliper retaining nuts).
Remove the wheel.
Spray the caliper retaining bolts and brake hose connections on the calipers with a penetrating oil like WD40; this will help removal later on.
Unclip the pad retaining spring with the screwdriver. Loosen the caliper retaining bolts, don't remove them just yet.
Tie the caliper to the spring with the rope, preventing it from falling down and/or hanging from the brake hose.
Remove the bolts, and remove the caliper. Depending on the wear off the disk this might be a bit tricky. Use a screwdriver or a proper tool to push back the pistons in the caliper, wiggle the caliper around, and/or use a screwdriver between the disk and the pads to push the caliper outwards, away from the disk.
Thorougly check the hub for rust/debris and make sure it's perfectly smooth. Thorougly clean it; use the steel brush and/or brake cleaner on a cloth; don't spray the hub itself (wheel bearing close by). Be sure the hub is completely clean and flat as debris or rust can offset the new disk and ruin it asap.
Coat the hub in a corrosion preventing liquid; do NOT use a paste such as copper grease. I used an old tin of gearbox oil; lightly smear it on the hub. It's only there to prevent rust, so don't overdo it!
Thorougly clean the new disks; they are covered in corrosion preventing rubbish. Again, use brake cleaner and make sure they're completely clean.
Slide the new disk on the hub, followed by the caliper with the pads. Bolt the caliper onto the hub (58Nm). Refit the pad retaining spring.
I continued with the other side of the car.
After both sides are done, it's time to to disconnect the brake hoses from the old calipers and onto the new ones. Do so
Bleed the new calipers. I used a Gunson Eezibleed Kit; fill the bottle with brake fluid, screw it on top of the brake reservoir, connect the bottle to a wheel (spare for example, max pressure 1.2bars so deflate a bit!), connect a clear hose to a bleeding screw and open it. Wait till all the fluid coming out is clear and there are no more bubbles, then do the next one. No more need to have someone press the brake pedal!
Remount the wheels to make sure the brake disk is in the right position.
Gently pump the brake pedal (don't push TOO far down to prevent damaging the master brake cilinder) until you've got a solid pedal and the pads are up against the disk; i bled the brakes again to be sure all air was out..
Press the pedal again, this time at emergency-stop-pressure. Check for leaks, retighten if necessary.
Lower the car!
All done! Go for a drive; check brake strength before you leave the street. Gently brake for a couple of miles, then stop and check for leaks once more.
Brake gently for a hundred miles or so to give the pads and disks time to match. You can properly bed them in afterwards. Enjoy your new brakes!
