2001 Lincoln LS Brake Master Cylinder Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the brake master cylinder on 2001 Lincoln LS?

  A: The brake master cylinder requires service with approved DOT 4 or DOT 3 brake fluid only because any other fluid will result in permanent damage before the brakes fail to work. Always handle brake fluid carefully when working with it because direct contact with eyes should be avoided and complete hand cleaning is needed afterwards. Eyes should be flushed with water for 15 minutes after exposure followed by seeking professional medical care while experiencing continuous irritation. Consumption of this substance requires you to drink water followed by vomiting before you obtain medical attention immediately. Wash down any fluid droplets immediately when working with brake fluid since this substance has the potential to harm painted or plastic surfaces. The first step involves disconnecting the fluid level sensor connector followed by removing VMV nuts and hose which results in setting the valve to the side. Connectors for brake tubes should be removed together with the brake master cylinder IVD solenoid electrical connector if applicable. First remove all brake master cylinder nuts before unclipping the fuel line and the vapor management hose from their fastener then set both components aside before removing the brake master cylinder. Perform the installation by undoing the backward removal process while properly bleeding the brake system at the conclusion.
