2004 Ford Taurus Brake Master Cylinder Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the brake master cylinder on 2004 Ford Taurus?

  A: Processing or repairing the brake master cylinder necessitates disconnecting the battery ground cable first. The first step requires you to take off the air cleaner outlet pipe followed by disconnecting the brake fluid level sensor electrical connector. End the brake tubes by disconnecting fittings then take out the bolts which attach the brake master cylinder to the vehicle. The installation of a new master cylinder requires prefect bench bleeding of the unit before insertion into the system. The brake system needs bleeding after complete reversal of removal procedures. Brake system functioning becomes impossible when unapproved DOT 3 brake fluid is used because it produces long-lasting harm to brake parts. Maintain safe handling of brake fluid because it contains chemical compounds known as polyglycol ethers and polyglycols that could cause harm; thus avoid direct contact with eyes and cleanse your hands thoroughly when you finish working with it. Wash affected eyes with running water for fifteen minutes after which you should consult medical professionals in case eye irritation continues. Consuming brake fluid requires victims to intake water followed by vomiting so they can immediately receive medical help. Caution must be exercised when dealing with brake fluid due to its ability to harm painted surfaces and plastic materials so washing the contaminated area right away with water becomes necessary.
