2002 Ford Escape Clutch Slave Cylinder Parts Q&A

• Q: What precautions should be taken when servicing and repairing the clutch slave cylinder on 2002 Ford Escape?

  A: The first step for clutch slave cylinder service and repair work requires appropriate safety measures because brake fluid includes polyglycol ethers and polyglycols that are harmful substances to human health. You should always protect your eyes and thoroughly wash your hands after working with brake fluid. An eye contact incident requires running water flushes for 15 minutes while medical services should be sought when irritation continues. Intake of this substance requires you to consume water followed by vomiting induction before rushing to medical care. Brake fluid damage will affect painted surfaces as well as plastic elements so any leaking fluid must immediately receive a water wash. Cut off the clutch slave cylinder tube yet secure it with a plug to decrease fluid waste. First disconnect the clutch slave cylinder by removing its mounting bolts and then separating the cylinder from its position. The new or replacement cylinder installation should begin by performing the removal steps in the opposite direction followed by a proper bleeding procedure.
