  Q: How to service and repair the brake master cylinder on Ford Freestyle?

  A:

  The first step to work on the brake master cylinder starts with shutting down the engine then pressing down the brake pedal several times to exhaust the vacuum in the Brake Booster. Begin the service operation by taking out both the battery tray and the air cleaner assembly. A proper suction device will drain the brake master cylinder reservoir. Then disconnect the level indicator switch electrical connector and the Brake Lines from the master cylinder while torquing them to 17 Nm (13 lb-ft). Seal off braking system components after disconnecting all brake lines and apply plugging devices to master cylinder ports. Put aside the master cylinder-to-booster seal with the master cylinder before you remove and discard two master cylinder-to-booster nuts to extract the brake master cylinder by retightening to 17 Nm (13 lb-ft) upon installation. The installation of the new master cylinder starts with processing the reverse removal sequence before bleeding the brake system and examining brake operation. Employ DOT 3 motor vehicle brake fluid for all applications because improper use could lead to lasting brake component damage and handle the fluid with eye protection while washing your hands after handling it thoroughly. Eyes that come in contact with brake fluid require immediate rinsing with flowing water for fifteen minutes before consulting medical assistance. Ingestion of this substance requires both water drinking and vomiting induction followed by immediate medical care. The liquid should be washed out from painted and plastic surfaces right after spillage by using water.
