2008 Ford Focus Brake Master Cylinder Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the brake master cylinder on 2008 Ford Focus?

  A: Service and repair operations on the brake master cylinder must begin with the engine off and several pedal presses to drain the brake booster vacuum. After removing the battery tray and cap you should utilize a suitable clean suction system to pull brake fluid from the reservoir. The service starts with loosening the battery junction box (BJB) screw followed by disconnecting the BJB from the bracket. Keep the locking tab pressed as you put the BJB aside. Simultaneously cap off the hose connections and disconnect the brake fluid reservoir-to-master cylinder tube. A manual transaxle vehicle requires the removal of clutch master cylinder tubing. The vehicle requires clear brake tube connections while tightening each fitting to 20 Nm (15 lb-ft) without anti-lock brakes and 17 Nm (13 lb-ft) with anti-lock brakes. The removal process of the master cylinder-to-booster seal requires separating this element from the master cylinder before throwing away the two brake master cylinder nuts and vacuum seal. The master cylinder installation should begin by inserting the new vacuum seal properly before cleaning the mating surfaces. After that complete the removal steps in reverse order and perform brake system bleeding. Brake system failures can be prevented when drivers use fresh brake fluid approved by the manufacturer as per manufacturer's guidelines while washing brake fluid spills off painted parts and plastics with water straight away.
