2005 Ford Taurus Wheel Cylinder Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the wheel cylinder on 2005 Ford Taurus?

  A: A proper wheel cylinder repair starts with brake shoes and linings removal followed by brake line fitting disconnect then bolt removal of the wheel cylinder. Start by disconnecting the brake line fitting before removing the two rear wheel cylinder bolts in order to extract the wheel cylinder. Only DOT 4 or DOT 3 brake fluid approved by DOT should be used for brake fluid because any other fluid type leads to permanent brake component damage and brake inoperability. Users need to handle brake fluid carefully because it includes the ingredients polyglycol ethers and polyglycols; eyes should be kept away from exposure and hand washing must be thorough after touch. If your eyes get into contact with brakes fluid follow a 15-minute water flush plan until you receive medical help because continuous irritation occurs. Drinking water followed by vomiting induction leads to an immediate need for medical assistance when fluid enters the stomach. Brake fluid requires immediate care because it presents a danger to painted surfaces and plastic materials so immediately wash water over affected areas. Use the reverse order of wheel cylinder installation to finish the process by bleeding the brake system.
