2002 Ford Taurus Wheel Cylinder Parts Q&A

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

  A: Onions have two essential elements to start servicing and repairing a wheel cylinder. The first step involves removing brake shoes followed by removing brake linings. First disconnect the brake line fitting before removing two rear wheel cylinder bolts which will enable removal of the wheel cylinder assembly. Installation of the new wheel cylinder requires following the removal steps in reverse order while performing brake system bleeding afterward. Utilities of DOT 4 and DOT 3 brake fluid for brake system maintenance are necessary because any different fluid type will produce permanent component harm which disables brake operation. The installation of brake fluid demands caution because it includes polyglycol ethers and polyglycols that can harm users; only touch eyes and wash your hands completely after completion. Eyes that come into contact with brake fluid need immediate washing with running water for 15 minutes followed by medical assistance for persistent irritation. Ingesting the fluid requires drinking water followed by vomiting made possible through gagging yourself before you find medical help. Handle brake fluid with care because it harms painted surfaces and plastics thus immediate water washing is needed for any spillage.
