2002 Mercury Grand Marquis Brake Caliper Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to properly bleed a brake caliper using DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid on 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis?

  A: The use of brake fluid must be restricted to DOT 3 or DOT 4 fluids because alternative fluids will cause permanent damage ending in brake inoperability. Treat brake fluid with caution to prevent eye contact and always perform complete handwashing after handling it. Eyes should be flushed with running water continuously for 15 minutes followed by medical assistance for any enduring irritation. A person who ingests fluid must drink water to induce vomiting before getting medical assistance without delay. Handle brake fluid carefully because it will damage painted or plastic surfaces therefore washing off spills with water right away. Keep brake fluid flowing through the master cylinder until the bleeding process ends and do not let the fluid run out while performing the task. Disconnection of the disc brake caliper alone requires no full brake system bleeding process. A box end wrench should secure the disc brake caliper bleeder screw yet a rubber drain tube with the exposed end placed in clean brake fluid needs to connect to it. Ask your assistant to pump the brake pedal which they should maintain strong pressure throughout the procedure. The bleeder screw needs to be loosened until brake fluid begins to stream out and the screw gets tightened while an assistant applies pressure on the brake pedal. Perform this operation until you extract transparent fluid which remains free of bubbles before refilling the brake master cylinder receptacle when necessary. Use a wrench to secure the disc brake caliper bleeder screw after completion.
