2006 Ford Escape Clutch Slave Cylinder Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the clutch slave cylinder on 2006 Ford Escape?

  A: The procedure for servicing and repairing the clutch slave cylinder starts with transaxle removal. First disconnect the clutch slave cylinder-to-clutch hydraulic fluid tube adapter followed by removing the three bolts which fasten the clutch slave cylinder. When installing the new or repaired clutch slave cylinder tighten the bolts to 12 Nm (9 ft. lbs.) following the reverse order of the removal procedure. It becomes necessary to perform system air bleeding after completion of the installation stage. Handle the brake fluid with care because its polyglycol ethers and polyglycols components produce skin reactions; protect your eyes when working with this substance and remember to clean your hands after use. To manage eye exposure rinsing affected areas under running water for 15 minutes means immediate medical assistance should continue to show symptoms of irritation. Drinking water followed by vomiting and fast medical care must be sought if you swallow either of these substances. You must watch out for brake fluid since it will damage both painted surfaces and plastic components thus any liquid spillage demands prompt water cleanup.
