2004 Ford Escape Clutch Master Cylinder Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the clutch master cylinder on 2004 Ford Escape?

  A: The clutch push rod retainer's orientation must be noted before servicing the clutch master cylinder because its removal and installation should not damage the retainer; replacement of the retainer clip is necessary when damage occurs. First disconnect the clutch master cylinder rod that connects to the clutch pedal and thereafter remove the clutch pedal bracket nut using proper tools. Exercise caution by washing your hands well because brake fluid contains polyglyeol ethers and polyglyeols which can irritate your tissue; if you get fluid in your eyes flush them with running water for 15 minutes then seek medical help for persistent irritation. After water intake and vomiting induction seek professional medical help for immediate care. Brake fluid poses damage to both painted surfaces and plastic materials thus requiring immediate washing off with water upon any spillage. To begin the brake flush procedure start by plugging the clutch master cylinder hose then remove the clutch master cylinder hose before disconnecting the clutch slave cylinder tube from the clutch master cylinder. Start by detaching the clutch master cylinder by removing its nut and its subsequent physical removal. The installation requires following the removal steps in reverse order while placing the push rod retainer in its proper position followed by air bleeding of the system.
