2003 Ford Windstar Wheel Cylinder Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: The first step in service and repair of the wheel cylinder involves removing brake shoes along with their linings. After disconnecting the brake line fitting users must take out the wheel cylinder by removing its two bolts. The installation of the new wheel cylinder requires backward execution of the removal steps. Constant brake system bleeding needs to occur after successful installation of new components. Quoting both DOT 4 and DOT 3 brake fluid serves as the exclusive fluid option because any alternative type will damage brake components irreparably and disable the braking system. Brake fluid includes polyglycol ethers and polyglycols so contact the eyes must be avoided and hands need complete post-handling washing. People who get liquid in their eyes should flush with running water for 15 minutes yet require medical help when they continue to feel irritation. Instant medical help is essential after swallowing the fluid and receiving water followed by vomiting. Take care with brake fluid because it can damage painted or plastic materials and spray water on the affected areas quickly to prevent damage.
