• Q: How to Properly Prime a Brake Master Cylinder with DOT 3 Brake Fluid on 2006 Ford Taurus?

  A: The process of priming the brake master cylinder requires only DOT 3 brake fluid since other types will result in permanent damage and disable brake operation which could lead to accidental injury. Any brake fluid spillages need immediate water washing for painted and plastic surfaces because the fluid shows harm to those materials. The brake master cylinder reservoir must stay full of recommended brake fluid while bleeding operates so the cylinder does not run dry and draining fluid should be avoided for reuse. All system parts must be correctly reattached before connection because air entry requires post-reconnection bleeding. When performing in-vehicle priming tasks you need to remove the brake lines from the brake master cylinder. Secure the brake master cylinder using a bench vise while attaching bent brake tubes into the reservoir for filling it with DOT 3 brake fluid. The primary piston should be pressed slow and steady or an assistant pumps the brake pedal until both tubes release clear fluid that does not contain bubbles. The vehicle must accept the brake master cylinder before you take out the short tubes and attach the outlet tubes which need tightening to 18 Nm (13 ft. lbs.). Another person should maintain pressure on the brake pedal during reservoir refills followed by a procedure to bleed the brake master cylinder at the outlet tubes by holding the brake pedal in place during tube loosening and tightened reattachment. Bleeding should continue until all expelled fluid becomes clear of air bubbles followed by the brake system bleeding process.
