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

Start servicing the wheel cylinder by taking out the rear wheel cylinder from its position. Fluid cleaning procedures with denatured alcohol must be avoided because alcohol trapped within components will cause rubber failure. Maintain absolute separation between brake hydraulic systems and petroleum products and mineral oil because these agents degrade natural rubber seals. The system must receive a flush with clean brake fluid and the replacement of all rubber seals and flex hoses should occur when contamination happens. Install Ford High Performance DOT 3 Brake Fluid C6AZ-19542-AB or its equivalent which fulfills Ford specification ESA-M6C25-A, DOT 3. Unscrew the bleeder screw and remove its cap together with the bleeder screw, dust boots and pistons and piston seal and spring from the rear wheel cylinder. The examination of the rear wheel cylinder bore must reveal no evidence of wear and rust nor visible pits because the cylinder needs replacement instead of honing. When assembling the unit replace each part with new piston seals and dust boots then apply new brake fluid to the bore before performing the inverse disassembly order.
