  Q: How to service and repair the wheel cylinder on Ford Focus?

  A:

  Start wheel cylinder servicing and repair by first releasing the parking brake then taking off wheels and tires. When servicing vehicle systems with anti-lock braking the wheel speed sensor needs to be detached first. The hub retaining nut should not be used to take off the Brake Drum so workers should remove the brake drum and hub assembly instead. Service the wheel cylinder by first disconnecting Brake Shoes then remove the wheel cylinder by unfastening brake tube union while removing its bolts. Installation requires placing the new wheel cylinder on the mounting position before bolting it down followed by uniting the brake tube union while taking care to avoid harming the wheel cylinder boots. Started by installing the brake shoes to the wheel cylinder before proceeding with brake drum and hub assembly installation. When dealing with vehicles containing anti-lock brakes you must reinstall the wheel speed sensor. Conclude the procedure by installing wheels and tires while performing system bleaching and operating the brake pedal until automatic adjustment is activated.

  Q: How to remove and replace the wheel cylinder on Ford Focus?

  A:

  The wheel cylinder replacement requires brake fluid of recent quality and manufacturer-approved specifications which must replace the old contaminated fluid to prevent material harm. Review the warning statements on the product label then consult a doctor for urgent medical assistance. Brake fluid which escapes from the system should not be allowed to touch painted surfaces or plastics; immediate water cleaning of the affected area is required. Proceed with drum removal before disassembling the hold-down clips then pins. Use appropriate tools to prevent wheel cylinder pistons from exiting the bore as you disconnect the Brake Shoes from the wheel cylinder. When removing the wheel cylinder brake tube fitting disconnect it properly and then reinstall it with a torque of 15 Nm (133 lb-in). The wheel cylinder removal process begins with unscrewing its two bolts afterward reinstall it with 12 Nm (106 lb-in) torque value. A specific type of sealant should be used as a bead during the installation of the new wheel cylinder while performing thorough cleaning of all mating surfaces. When finished with installation the wheel cylinder requires bleeding followed by internal auto-adjuster adjustment to position brake shoes centrally against the Brake Drum during brake shoe adjustment.
