2007 Ford Fusion Brake Master Cylinder Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the brake master cylinder for 2.3L and 3.0L engines on 2007 Ford Fusion?

  A: Service and repair operations on brake master cylinders for engines with 2.3L and 3.0L displacement should start with disconnecting the battery ground cable and brake fluid level warning switch electrical connector. A proper suction device should be used to drain brake fluid out of the brake master cylinder reservoir. You must detach the hose leading to the clutch master cylinder when the vehicle carries a manual transmission. After bracket tube fitting removal you must plug both brake tubes and port openings before installing them with 17 Nm (13 ft. lbs.) torque. The master cylinder should have its two nuts removed but you should tighten them to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.) when putting everything back. To install the brake master cylinder follow the reverse steps of removal while performing brake fluid bleeding on the master cylinder and clutch master cylinder when needed. The safe operation of the brakes requires use of only DOT 3 motor vehicle brake fluid which protects brake components from permanent damage. You must refrain from allowing brake fluid to touch painted surfaces or plastic items since immediate water cleanup will prevent damage. Emergency medical information about brake fluid can be obtained by calling Ford/Motorcraft at 1-800-959-3673 or consulting the MSDS document if the product has it available.
