2006 Ford Mustang Brake Master Cylinder Parts Q&A

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

  A: Service and repair operations of brake master cylinders should begin with disconnected battery ground cable. Service professionals should begin by disconnecting the electrical connector of the brake fluid sensor. For vehicles with manual transmission the clutch hose should be separated from the brake fluid reservoir after removing its clamp. Begin by capping brake lines then plugging master cylinder ports before you disconnect the two brake tubes from the master cylinder unit. Tighten the connections to 17 Nm when reattaching. The brake master cylinder requires removal of its two securing nuts before reinstalling them with a torque of 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.). Bleeding of the master cylinder must follow the reverse steps of the removal process. Brake components suffer permanent damage which makes the brakes inoperative when using anything other than approved DOT 3 motor vehicle brake fluid. Carefully manage brake fluid while wearing protective gloves since direct contact with eyes should be avoided and direct hand cleaning follows fluid contact. Any eyes that come into contact with brake fluid must be rinsed under running water for 15 minutes and medical help should be sought if eye irritation does not stop. Washing down the ingestion of fluid with water followed by vomiting should be followed by contacting medical support without delay. Any brake fluid spill must be cleaned right away with water since it proves damaging to painted surfaces together with plastic materials.
