2002 Lincoln LS Clutch Master Cylinder Parts Q&A

• Q: How to Address Issues with the Clutch Master Cylinder in a 2002 Lincoln LS?

  A: The clutch master cylinder requires servicing and repair only after taking safety measures because brake fluid contains toxic polyglycol ethers and polyglycols that should be prevented from eye contact and proper hand cleaning is necessary following exposure. If eyes come in contact with the solution seek immediate medical help after flushing the eyes with running water for 15 minutes. Ingestion of the material requires drinking water followed by vomiting induction until you obtain medical help immediately. Any fluid spillages from brake fluid will cause damage to painted surfaces or plastics so they should be washed off without delay with water. Opening the clutch master cylinder reservoir hose allows draining coolant from the system and brake master cylinder to a level below the reservoir nipple. The hydraulic line disconnect procedure begins with separating the brake master cylinder reservoir connector then plugging it before taking off the clutch master cylinder hydraulic line. The instrument panel insulator needs lowering when both retainers are removed while disconnecting the footwell lamp electrical connector to remove the instrument panel finish panel. First remove the two clutch master cylinder bolts then detach the clutch pedal arm clip as well as its washer. First step requires disconnecting the clutch master cylinder from the clutch arm before removing both components whereas the reservoir line follows by disconnecting from the master cylinder. Placing the new unit requires following the backward installation of removal methods while adding fresh hose clamps to the reservoir line and filling the brake master cylinder with recommended fluid as well as the coolant system and performing clutch hydraulic system bleeding.
