Follow these steps carefully
Park the Ford Territory on level ground, set the parking brake, and chock the rear wheels. Loosen the front lug nuts, raise the front with a floor jack, and support it on rated jack stands. Remove the front wheels to access the calipers.

Check the master cylinder reservoir level before retracting the pistons. The Territory's large calipers displace significant fluid, so siphon out excess if the reservoir is full. This prevents brake fluid from overflowing onto painted surfaces.

Remove the caliper bolts with the correct metric socket and hang the caliper from the suspension with wire. Extract the worn pads and inspect the rotor for scoring and thickness. Clean the bracket and hub face with a wire brush.

Compress the caliper piston while watching the fluid reservoir. Install new pad hardware, lubricate contact points, and fit the new pads with wear indicators correctly placed. Refit the caliper and torque the bolts to specification.

Flex each front brake hose and look for cracking, bulging, or soft spots in the rubber. The Territory's hoses deteriorate with age and heat exposure. Replace any suspect hose immediately, as a burst hose means total brake failure on that circuit.

Remount the wheels, torque lug nuts to the Territory's specification in a star pattern, and lower the vehicle. Pump the brake pedal until firm and bed the pads with progressive stops. Confirm smooth, quiet braking.

Test your repair before closing everything up. If something doesn't work right, double-check your steps.
