2007 Ford Explorer Brake Master Cylinder Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the brake master cylinder on 2007 Ford Explorer?

  A: All service and repair tasks on the brake master cylinder start with disconnecting the battery ground cable. A suitable suction device should be used to drain the brake master cylinder reservoir and workers should disconnect the brake fluid level warning switch electrical connector and the two brake tube fittings from the brake master cylinder before torquing each component to 18 Nm (13 ft. lbs.). The service of the brake master cylinder begins with unfastening its two retaining nuts followed by removal of the square cut seal which should be refitted with a torque of 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.). Installation of the square cut seal must be proper to prevent feeling what is known as incorrect brake pedal feel. The braking system requires bleaching with a proper brake system protocol after returning all components to their original position. Always employ DOT 3 brake fluid when maintaining brake components while washing off any brake fluid spills from painted or plastic surfaces using water immediately. In case of emergency brake fluid needs, contact Ford/Motorcraft products at 1-800-959-3673 both inside and outside the United States for medical advice.
