2005 Ford Mustang Brake Master Cylinder Parts Q&A

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

  A: Service and repair of the brake master cylinder starts with disconnecting the battery and brake fluid level electrical connector. You should disconnect the clutch hose when the vehicle uses a manual transmission after removing its clamp. Before disconnecting brake lines from the master cylinder it is essential to apply caps on the lines and to seal the cylinder ports. When reinstalling both brake lines tighten them to 17 Nm (13 ft. lbs.). Remove the two master cylinder securing nuts followed by discarding them before removing the cylinder which needs a tightening torque of 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.) for install. Return the equipment according to removal steps and complete a brake system bleeding process. The use of DOT 3 motor vehicle brake fluid remains essential for brake operations because any foreign fluid will lead to permanent brake damage and complete brake system failure. When handling brake fluid it is important to exercise caution because it includes harmful polyglycol ethers and polyglycols and requires immediate eye removal and hand washing with thorough rinsing and medical assistance in cases of exposure. Intake of brake fluid requires immediate water washing since it affects painted and plastic materials.
