2002 Lincoln LS Brake Master Cylinder Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the brake master cylinder on 2002 Lincoln LS?

  A: The first step to work on the brake master cylinder requires disconnecting the fluid level sensor connector. The maintenance process starts by taking off the retainers then the left upper shock mount cover prior to the Vapor Management Valve (VMV) nuts. The first step includes breaking connections between the VMV hose and setting aside the valve before taking apart the brake tube and brake master cylinder IVD transducer electrical connector where needed. A proper suction tool will help you remove fluid from the brake master cylinder reservoir after which you can eliminate the reservoir bolt. The operation for manual transmission vehicles requires removal of the clutch master cylinder reservoir hose. Next remove the brake master cylinder nuts while simultaneously taking out the brake master cylinder itself together with the reservoir. The installation completion consists of performing the removal steps in reverse order together with proper brake system bleeding procedures. DOT 4 and DOT 3 brake fluid represents the only accepted types for brake use because alternative fluids result in permanent brake damage which makes the system unable to operate. Handle brake fluid properly because exposure to eyes and painted or plastic surfaces should be avoided while washing hands thoroughly following all contact with the fluid. Eyes that encounter brake fluid need immediate water flush for a period of fifteen minutes following medical assistance for prolonged irritation symptoms. Consumers who consume brake fluid should drink water followed by vomiting to receive emergency medical help.
