2006 Mercury Mariner Wheel Cylinder Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the wheel cylinder on 2006 Mercury Mariner?

  A: Service and repair the wheel cylinder by first removing the rear wheel cylinder along with its bleeder screw cap then the bleeder screw before securing it with a torque of 8 Nm (71 inch lbs.). After removing the two dust boots you must disconnect the two pistons along with their piston seals. During assembly apply clean brake fluid on the piston seals. The wheel cylinder bore needs inspection for extreme wear, corrosion, or pitting after spring removal because a new wheel cylinder is required for these conditions. The complete rebuild concludes with reversing the steps that were used for disassembly. Brake systems require the exclusive use of DOT 3 motor vehicle brake fluid because any alternative will create lasting damage to brake parts that will disable braking functions leading to possible harm to users. When working with brake fluid users should take necessary safety precautions because its contents of polyglycol ethers and polyglycols pose potential health risks; individuals should avoid eye exposure and should thoroughly clean their hands afterward while seeking medical aid for any experienced irritation. Any leakage of brake fluid requires emergency wash downs of painted and plastic materials with water because this fluid is damaging to these surfaces.
