2000 Ford Taurus Wheel Cylinder Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the wheel cylinder on 2000 Ford Taurus?

  A: The wheel cylinder repairing process starts by taking out brake shoes along with linings. First disconnect the brake line fitting and afterwards unscrew the two bolts from the rear of the wheel cylinder to remove it. The process of installing the new wheel cylinder consists of undoing the removal procedures backward. Correct brake system performance requires a procedure of bleeding the system following installation. Brake components become permanently damaged while the brakes become nonfunctioning when any fluid except DOT 4 or DOT 3 brake fluid is used in the system. The hazardous ingredients contained in brake fluid include polyglycol ethers and polyglycols so you must exercise caution and avoid eyes and wash hand thoroughly after handling. You must seek immediate medical help after contact with eyes for a prolonged period or if irritation becomes persistent while flushing with running water for 15 minutes. Drinking water followed by vomiting and rushing to emergency medical service should be your first course of action when you consume it accidentally. Alertness should be maintained when working with brake fluid because it has the potential to damage painted and plastic surfaces and water should be used right away for cleaning the spill area.
