2000 Lincoln Town Car Brake Caliper Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to properly bleed a brake caliper using DOT 3 brake fluid on 2000 Lincoln Town Car?

  A: Brake caliper bleeding requires DOT 3 brake fluid only because improper fluid selection will result in damage which makes the brakes unusable permanently. Follow proper precaution when working with brake fluid because skin contact will damage your eyes and cause fluid damage requires immediate handwashing. Workers should immediately rinse their eyes properly with water for 15 minutes after which they should find medical assistance if the irritation continues. You should drink water followed by vomiting induction until medical assistance arrives if you consume brake fluid. Wash away brake fluid spills from painted and plastic materials by using water. The master cylinder must receive the approved brake fluid during bleeding since running the fluid dry at any point is forbidden and fluids drained from the hydraulic system must never be used. The brake system demands no full bleed when the disc brake caliper was the only detached part. A box end wrench should be placed on the disc brake caliper bleeder screw before attaching a rubber drain tube to it and placing the free end of the tube in clean brake fluid. Assist the pedal pressure with an assistant who keeps applying force to the brake pedal. The bleeder screw should be loosened while the assistant keeps applying pressure on the brake pedal. Brake fluid should begin to drain before retightening the screw with pedal pressure maintained. And each time we obtain clear, bubble-free fluid should lead to a necessary refill of the master cylinder reservoir. Tighten the disc brake caliper bleeder screw as the last step.
