2003 Ford Taurus Wheel Cylinder Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the wheel cylinder on 2003 Ford Taurus?

  A: Begin service and repair procedures of wheel cylinders by first removing brake shoes and linings. The brake line fitting should be disconnected before removing the two rear wheel cylinder bolts that allow the wheel cylinder to be taken out. Use the same installation steps in reverse order to fit the new wheel cylinder while properly bleaching the brake system because of installation. Brake repair requires DOT 4 or DOT 3 fluid which represents the only acceptable options because other types will destroy brake elements thereby making your vehicle brake inoperable. Handle brake fluid with respect because it includes harmful polyglycol ethers and polyglycols yet avoid eyes along with complete hand washing post-handling. If your eyes come into contact with the substance you need to rinse them with running water for 15 minutes followed by requiring medical help to ensure eye irritation does not continue. You should drink water to induce vomiting after ingesting the substance before getting prompt medical help. Brake fluid can damage painted and plastic surfaces thus immediate water cleaning of spill areas is necessary.
