1990 Lincoln Town Car - Couldn't get a straight answer off some of teh Lincoln forums on whether my 90' had greasable wheel bearings or not. There they are and yes… 1990 Lincoln Town Car - Forgot to take removal of the pads/caliper pics, so...note the 5/8" slider bolts that come out to allow caliper and pad removal. 1990 Lincoln Town Car - Once you've pulled off the dust cover, removed the cotter pin and undone the bearing nut, the rotor comes off in your hands. Pry out the in… 1990 Lincoln Town Car - The passenger's inner seal had failed on mine and had obviously been free of the rotor for a long while, judging by the sludge build up. Th… 1990 Lincoln Town Car - Out lifts larger inner wheel bearing. It's an American made Timken in good shape, so I'm just going to re-clean it and re-use it. 1990 Lincoln Town Car - Into the solvent and shake it around to clean all the old grease out of the bearing race. Then blow dry or set them out on rags to wick dry. 1990 Lincoln Town Car - Meanwhile you can be wiping out the old grease from inside the hub. 1990 Lincoln Town Car - Do the same on the smaller outer bearing's hub race too. 1990 Lincoln Town Car - Wipe clean the spindle as well. 1990 Lincoln Town Car - May as well lube up the two spindle contact areas while you're at it too. I spend the extra dollar and get real fully synthetic grease. I c… 1990 Lincoln Town Car - Load the bearing packer and apply the grease gun to really load those bearings with synthetic grease. 1990 Lincoln Town Car - Load the bearing contact areas, in the rotor hub, with grease too and then install the bearings. 1990 Lincoln Town Car - If you can't get the new inner seal to seat like this, place a large rubber mallet over it and pound the mallet with a hammer. That will sp… 1990 Lincoln Town Car - As rusty as my rotor looked (it's a salt-belt thing) it had no serrations or heat scoring and plenty of thickness left. So a little scuffin… 1990 Lincoln Town Car - I like the way these Lincoln calipers just tuck in on top of the lower A arm so nicely. I use a welding C-lamp vice grip to depress the pis… 1990 Lincoln Town Car - A little brake grease on the back of the pads, spread over the contact points will stop any squealing. I did the same for the outer pad and… 1990 Lincoln Town Car - Pop the spring loaded inner pad into place. 1990 Lincoln Town Car - These Lincoln Town Car brakes are possibly the nicest, easiest pad change I've ever done on a car ! 1990 Lincoln Town Car - New calipers, rotors and Carbon Fiber pads. They made a difference to mileage, meaning the calipers had to be dragging the pads on the old… 1990 Lincoln Town Car - Carbon fiber pads are quieter than original and work very well to date
