2006 Ford Ranger Brake Master Cylinder Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: Start brake master cylinder servicing and repairs by detaching the component from your vehicle before cleaning its outer surface. The user must drain all fluid from the filler cap following its removal before continuing with only DOT 3 brake fluid which maintains component integrity. A soft-jawed vise should be used to mount the brake master cylinder but it must not harm the body of the device. Before proceeding with the removal of the reservoir and primary piston assembly ensure to detach the speed control deactivator switch and depress the piston to release its snap ring that should be discarded. The secondary piston assembly removal requires plugging rear outlet ports plus potentially brake pressure switch ports before blowing out the assembly through front port air pressure. The brake master cylinder requires replacement when its bore shows any signs of damage. First clean the bore with alcohol then check for any damage that exists. Install the new piston assembly seals with DOT 3 brake fluid before placing the secondary piston assembly and primary piston assembly while securing it with the snap ring. Clean DOT 3 brake fluid will be poured into the speed control deactivator switch before its installation and subsequent tightening at 17 Nm (13 ft. lbs.). Bleed the brake master cylinder before restoring the reservoir while performing the installation steps. Place the brake master cylinder back inside the vehicle as the last step.
