• Q: How to remove and replace the brake master cylinder on 2009 Ford Flex?

  A: Start by turning off the engine before you activate the brake pedal multiple times to empty the brake booster vacuum. Start the brake master cylinder replacement by taking out the battery tray prior to removing the air cleaner assembly. Separate the electrical connector which controls the brake fluid indicator switch function from the master cylinder. The master cylinder brake tubes must be fitted with the same orientation during removal as they were before being taken off. The procedure includes tube tightening to 22 Nm (16 lb-ft) followed by tube capping and port plugging for the master cylinder. Disassemble both brake master cylinder nuts before discarding them along with the master cylinder-to-booster seal when removed. Fasten the new brake master cylinder using new nuts which should be tightened to 20 Nm (177 lb-in). Reverse your work procedure and perform brake system bleeding as the last step in installation. Brake fluid should come straight from new containers that match manufacturer guidelines and users must keep brake fluid away from painted or plastic elements because it damages them. To handle any fluid spills you should immediately clean the surface with water. In case of emergency medical need you should contact doctors while review the product Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) when it is accessible.
