2005 Ford Focus Brake Master Cylinder Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the brake master cylinder on 2005 Ford Focus?

  A: The brake master cylinder servicing begins with removing the battery followed by pulling tab on the filler cap electrical connector then pressing the clips apart. After obtaining the filler cap from its container protect its surface while draining the fluid reservoir with a clean suction device followed by reinstalling the filler cap. Separate the Battery Junction Box (BJB) electrical connectors before unscrewing the BJB with the lever-tool. Place the BJB to the side. Prepare the hose connections with caps to stop fluid leakages and dirt across the brake master cylinder feed hose until you complete the disconnection. Vehicle owners with manual transaxle must apply caps to both the clutch master cylinder feed hose and the brake master cylinder feed hose. Discharging brake lines applies to vehicles that do not use anti-lock brakes but these systems with anti-lock technology require capped tube connections to proceed with brake line removal. Empty the vacuum from the brake booster by detached vacuum pipe to perform master cylinder removal. Begin by removing brake master cylinder retaining nuts from both components before extracting the master cylinder. Make sure to install the new master cylinder only if the vacuum seal fits correctly between parts which should be kept clean. The brake system needs bleeding after completion before performing the installation steps in reverse order. DOT 3 brake fluid approved by the Department of Transportation is the only solution for brake components because using other fluids can result in permanent damage. Handle brake fluid carefully while also preventing its contact with eyes and painted surfaces and plastic materials.
