2006 Ford Fusion Clutch Slave Cylinder Parts Q&A

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

  A: The first step when servicing the clutch slave cylinder requires proper safety measures because the brake fluid contains polyglycol ethers and polyglycols that irritate eyes and damage painted surfaces as well as plastic components. Brake fluid which enters eyes should be flushed with water for fifteen minutes while immediate medical help should be sought when eye irritation lasts beyond that period. You should consume water followed by vomiting induction then call medical emergency services after swallowing any substance. A proper suction device must draw brake fluid until the clutch reservoir hose reaches just below its level. First disconnect the clutch slave cylinder-to-clutch master cylinder line followed by the removal of the two bolts holding the clutch slave cylinder in place. You should begin the new cylinder installation by using 19 Nm (14 ft. lbs.) torque when bolting the pieces together. Then apply grease to the push rod end of the slave cylinder before performing air bleeding on the system.
