2002 Ford Expedition Brake Master Cylinder Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to bleed the brake master cylinder on 2002 Ford Expedition?

  A: Bleeding the brake master cylinder in-vehicle demands that professionals protect themselves against brake fluid hazards which include polyglycol ethers and polyglycols by a complete hand wash after use and eyes require continuous water flush for 15 minutes in case of contact and they should seek medical help if discomfort develops. Use only High Performance DOT 3 Brake Fluid C6AZ-19542-AB or a suitable alternative which meets Ford specification ESA-M6C25-A to fill up the brake master cylinder reservoir because emptying the reservoir endangers the bleeding procedure. Fluid leaks from the brakes should be cleaned off painted surfaces and plastics with flowing water. The hydraulic system requires bleeding when air enters after any hydraulic component disconnect or else spongy brake pedal action will occur. The system requires priming after install or emptying a brake master cylinder to stop air from entering. Install short brake tubes into the reservoir while it contains specified brake fluid before positioning them under the submerged level. An assistant should operate the brake pedal to produce clear fluid that does not contain bubbles through both tubes before extracting the short tubes and installing the outlet tubes. The braking procedure requires an assistant to both pump the brake pedal and keep firm pressure until fluid appears from the rear-most fitting while the assistant tightens the tube connection. The process should continue until clear fluid appears without bubbles and additional reservoir fluid may be added when needed prior to performing the same steps on the front brake tube. After the assistant maintains pedal pressure they should tighten the brake tubes.
