2006 Ford Focus Brake Master Cylinder Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: Services and repairs on the brake master cylinder must start with taking out the battery. Open the tab of the brake fluid reservoir filler cap then detach the electrical connector through its clips. First ensure the filler cap stays clean then remove it while the reservoir empties by using a clean suction device and then reinstall the cap. Move forward by removing the BJB electrical connectors after which you must take out the BJB screw to set it aside. Close all connected hydraulic hose ends with caps to stop fluid escape and contamination by dirt. Then remove the brake fluid reservoir-to-master cylinder tube. Manual transaxle vehicles require tubing caps before disconnecting the clutch master cylinder tubes. Brake tube fittings on vehicles without anti-lock brakes should be disconnected before being tightened to 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.) during installation Install the brake tube fittings on vehicles with anti-lock brakes at a torque of 17 Nm and a torque of 20 Nm for other vehicles. Remove the master cylinder only after draining the brake booster vacuum through disconnecting its vacuum hose. When installing the master cylinder wrap it with 20 Nm torque while reattaching the brake master cylinder nuts. It is critical to check that the vacuum seal is properly positioned while verifying that both mating surfaces stay clean before the master cylinder installation. To complete the process bleed the brake system after reversing the removal procedure. Dot 3 brake fluid represents the only approved choice for brakes since it protects brake components from permanent damage but users must take safety steps to prevent fluid exposure to eyes and painted or plastic surfaces.
