2001 Ford Taurus Wheel Cylinder Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the wheel cylinder on 2001 Ford Taurus?

  A: One must take off brake shoes and linings before starting wheel cylinder servicing and repair work. Remove the brake line fitting from the wheel cylinder before you can unscrew the two bolts of the rear wheel cylinder for removal of the wheel cylinder itself. After installing the new wheel cylinder follow the removal procedure in reverse direction while performing a brake system bleed. The effective use of DOT 3 or 4 brake fluid remains critical because any other brake fluid type leads to permanent brake component breakdown which makes the brakes completely inoperable. People should exercise caution when dealing with brake fluid since it contains polyglycol ethers along with polyglycols; exposure to eyes should be avoided while complete handwashing follows fluid contact. Contact with eyes requires immediate eyes flushing with running water for 15 minutes while you need to contact medical professionals for any ongoing irritated symptoms. After ingesting brake fluid clients must drink water followed by vomiting immediately before going to the hospital. Brake fluid poses the risk of damaging painted and plastic surfaces but cleaning up the spill with water promptly minimizes damage.
