How do you retract the brake cylinder on the rear brakes for new pads on a 2004 Mercury Monterey?
The rear disc brake piston needs to turn as it is retracted / compressed into the caliper.
Go to the parts store and tell them you need the brake cylinder retraction tool. Cost about 10 bucks and works for a variety of cars/vans.
It is a square with a couple of different teeth on each face, to align with the notches in the face of the brake piston.
Should work with a 3/8 drive ratchet. Clockwise facing the cylinder to retract. Have fun!

Then, unbolt the brake booster from the firewall, usually requiring the removal of several nuts or bolts. After taking out the old booster, install the new one by reversing the removal process, ensuring all connections are tight and properly aligned.

How do you bleed brakes on a 2004 mercury monterey?
To bleed the brakes on a 2004 Mercury Monterey, start by ensuring the vehicle is on a level surface and the parking brake is engaged. Begin at the wheel farthest from the master cylinder, typically the passenger rear, and use a brake bleeder wrench to open the bleeder valve while an assistant presses the brake pedal. Allow fluid to flow until no air bubbles are visible, then close the valve and repeat for the other wheels in the order: driver rear, passenger front, and finally driver front. Make sure to check the brake fluid level frequently and top it off as needed to prevent air from entering the system.

When do you know when dirt bike brake calipers are worn out and need to be replaced?
If your brakes feel spongy, fill the master cylinder with brake fluid (make sure it is the same as in the master cylinder -do not mix dot 3 with dot 4 fluid) then try bleeding the line. If the brakes do not come back in firm, it may be time to repair or replace the caliper. Another common problem is the brakes lock up. What is happening is the piston does not retract and stays in the "applied" position. This puts a constant pressure on the rotor.
