How to Perform Brake Bleeding on a Wheel Cylinder for Gravity Bleed on Ford Escort?

The first step to perform wheel cylinder brake bleeding requires regular monitoring of brake master cylinder reservoir fluid level to prevent it from diminishing. Pour out clear brake fluid by letting wheel cylinder bleeder screw (2208) open until only bubble-less fluid emerges then seal the screw. When the wheel cylinder bleeder screw reaches this condition you must securely tighten it. Complete the brake master cylinder reservoir with High Performance DOT 3 Brake Fluid C6AZ-19542-AB or an equivalent that satisfies Ford specification ESA-M6C25-A, DOT 3.

How to service and repair the rear wheel cylinder on Ford Escort?

Service and repair operations for the rear wheel cylinder begin with removing it from the vehicle. Trapped alcohol from denatured alcohol usage is dangerous for brake system components and can cause their failure so this substance should never be used to flush brake systems or clean assemblies. Foreign substances from petroleum products and mineral oil must not encounter the brake hydraulic system inside because these materials degrade natural rubber seals. System contamination requires users to flush it with clean brake fluid followed by complete rubber seal and flex hose replacement. Use full Ford High Performance DOT 3 Brake Fluid C6AZ-19542-AB or equivalent products which match Ford specification ESA-M6C25-A and need to fulfill DOT 3 standards. To disassemble the rear wheel cylinder follow the procedure of removing bleeder screw cap combined with bleeder screw and dust boots along with pistons and piston seal and spring. The cylinder bore needs inspection for wear besides checking for rust and pits since the cylinder requires replacement over honing. Installation of new piston seals and dust boots should always occur prior to applying new brake fluid into the bore for an effective assembly.

The Ford Escort Wheel Cylinder is as a hydraulic drum brake part that earned its reputation in dependability and efficiency across the Ford Escort models from 1981 to 2003. This critical part functions by way of hydraulic pressure which pulls two pistons outwards, thus forcing the brake shoes against the brake drum; increasing vehicle's stopping power. Ford Escort Wheel Cylinder can be made of strong cast iron or lightweight aluminum material, and comes with rubber seal as well as expander spring that keep pressure consistent as well as the system free from leakage. The relevance of this component is apparent in its usage for escorting various generations of compact class, starting with models of 1991, and the third generation redesigned in 1997. The Ford Escort Wheel Cylinder should be inspected often because any leaks in this device will degrade the car's braking ability, and the cylinder will need to be replaced soon or rebuilt. Specifically, the Ford Escort Wheel Cylinder has distinctive designs of a single action type with options for dual single-pistons that improve the braking system's sensitivity. The incorporation of advanced materials, specifically aluminum, aids in the body preventing rust; thus, the Ford Escort Wheel Cylinder is reliable and durable. All in all, this component is highly significant in offering safety and performance of Ford Escort hence becoming a popular car among most drivers.
