2006 Ford E-150 Brake Master Cylinder Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the brake master cylinder on 2006 Ford E-150?

  A: Starting brake master cylinder repair and servicing requires switching off the ground cable for the battery. A suitable suction device will extract brake fluid from the brake master cylinder reservoir. Move on to disconnect and tighten the electrical connectors which belong to the speed control deactivator switch and brake fluid level switch before finalizing by securing the master cylinder tube fittings to 18 Nm (13 ft. lbs.) for standard vehicles and 28 Nm (21 ft. lbs.) for vehicles with traction control and stability assist functions. Brake master cylinder nuts must be discarded because they are torque-prevailing and non-reusable until replacement of the brake master cylinder and removal of brake master cylinder nuts. Install the brake master cylinder following removal steps but apply new nuts to 23 Nm (17 ft. lbs.) or 15 Nm (11 ft. lbs.) torque according to stability control type. Post-installation bleeding of the brake system remains mandatory. To prevent lasting brake component harm along with destructive effects on painted and plastic surfaces use extreme care when working with brake fluid since all spills should receive immediate water-based cleaning. Take proper safety measures to work with brake fluid and avoid eye contact because failure to do so requires immediate medical assistance.
