2003 Ford Explorer Sport Brake Master Cylinder Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What are the crucial steps and precautions for servicing and repairing the brake master cylinder on 2003 Ford Explorer Sport?

  A: The brake master cylinder requires repairing with only approved DOT 3 brake fluid because using different types will bring permanent damage to brake components resulting in inoperable brakes. You must refrain from touching your eyes with brake fluid which contains polyglycol ethers and polyglycols since exposure needs thorough hand washing. People who experience eye contact with brake fluid need to flush their eyes with running water for 15 minutes before getting immediate medical help for any continued irritation. Water consumption along with vomiting induction leads to medical emergency situations after ingestion of fluid. Any spread of brake fluid must receive immediate water washing since it causes damage to painted and plastic components. The first step needs brake pressure switch removal on vehicles with cruise control before proceeding to brake fluid level warning switch disconnection. The next step involves disconnecting the two brake lines before plugging all ports including the brake master cylinder. Remove the wiring clip attached to the master cylinder and proceed to detach brake master cylinder nuts. The brake master cylinder needs bleeding before installation followed by the system bleeding after installation when performing a reverse retrieve of the removal sequence.
