2002 Ford Taurus Brake Master Cylinder Parts Q&A

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

  A: Start the brake master cylinder service and repair work by disconnecting the battery ground cable. The first step should involve removing the air cleaner outlet pipe while also disconnecting the brake fluid level sensor electrical connector. Unfasten the tubing attachments at the fittings before separating the tubes while taking out the bolts that hold the brake master cylinder. A new master cylinder requires bench bleeding before installation because it serves as an essential step. Users must follow the removal sequence in reverse and follow up with brake system bleeding after the installation. Brake components experience permanent damage when different brake fluids such as DOT 3 and DOT 4 are not used since this leads to brake inoperability. During brake fluid use it is important to exercise care because polyglycol ethers and polyglycols in the solution pose harm to your body while in contact with eyes require immediate hand washing following exposure and an urgent visit to a medical facility when irritation happens. When brake fluid leaks onto painted surfaces or plastics it will cause damage thus immediate rinsing with water is necessary to prevent further breakdown.
