2008 Ford Mustang Brake Master Cylinder Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service the brake master cylinder on 2008 Ford Mustang?

  A: First position the A/C suction accumulator aside then detach its two retaining bolts for brake master cylinder service. Proceed with disconnecting the brake fluid sensor electrical connection. When dealing with manual transmission vehicles you should disconnect the clutch hose from the brake fluid reservoir after removing its clamp. The service requires unblocking the two brake tube fittings from the master cylinder but users should perform a tight torque of 17 Nm (13 lb-ft) when reinstalling those fittings. Secure each end of the brake lines with caps while fully plugging the master cylinder ports. The brake master cylinder receives two nuts for installation or removal which need 15 Nm (11 lb-ft) torque when installing the new cylinder. After installing the new master cylinder finish the process by bleeding the master cylinder then proceed with clutch master cylinder bleeding if needed. Brake fluid requirements involve using only clean solutions that match manufacturer standards to keep fluids free from contaminants or damaging effects yet attention must be paid to prevent fluid leaks onto painted surfaces or plastics since these areas need immediate water washing. Emergency medical information about brake fluid is obtainable by dialing 1-800-959-3673 or consulting the MSDS provided in the USA or Canada.
