This document is an exploded parts diagram titled "Caliper -- 16 Inch Wheel," showing the disassembled components of a front disc brake caliper assembly for a vehicle with 16-inch wheels. Numbered callouts 1 through 13, plus letter callouts A and B, identify individual components including the caliper housing, caliper piston, piston seal, dust boot, caliper anchor/mounting bracket, slide pins, bleeder screw, banjo bolt hardware, brake pads with shims, and pad hardware. A small component attached to one brake pad (near callout 6), apparently a wear indicator or retaining clip, is highlighted with a red box by the uploader. The Ford-style drawing reference number AH0285-A appears in the lower right corner. No legend, part names, part numbers, or torque specifications accompany the diagram in this scan, so readers can learn the physical arrangement and assembly order of the caliper components but must consult the corresponding service manual text for part identification and specifications. The scan was uploaded to a 1997 Mercury Cougar gallery as "sport caliper," companion to a "97 standard caliper" diagram in the same album, suggesting it depicts the larger sport/16-inch-wheel brake option.
