2002 Ford Escape Brake Master Cylinder Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the brake master cylinder on 2002 Ford Escape?

  A: A professional should start brake master cylinder servicing by removing it from the car then cleaning its external surfaces first. Begin service of the brake master cylinder by first detaching its reservoir followed by disassembling seals and snap ring. Remove the primary and secondary pistons from the brake master cylinder while paying attention to damaged brake master cylinder bores because replacement with a new part becomes necessary. Examine the bore through which the fluid passes while cleaning it with isopropyl alcohol. Clean brake fluid functions as the lubricant during new piston assembly seal installation in addition to brake master cylinder bore application. Install the secondary piston assembly first and then add the primary piston assembly before fitting them with the snap ring. Brake fluid should be used to lubricate both the brake master cylinder's seals before placing them within the cylinder. Reinstall the brake master cylinder reservoir by making sure the component snaps into place after thorough pressing of the sealed points. Respect the proper handling of brake fluid by shielding your eyes and maintaining separation from paint or plastic materials followed by quick water washing of any fluid exposure.
