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

  A: You must deactivate the engine before using the brake pedal multiple times to empty vacuum from the Brake Booster during brake master cylinder servicing. Start by removing the battery tray together with the air cleaner assembly. A proper suction device should empty the brake master cylinder reservoir followed by removing the master cylinder brake fluid level indicator switch electrical connector and brake tubes from the master cylinder before retightening these connections to 17 Nm (13 lb-ft). Seal the brake tubes using caps while placing plugging materials into master cylinder opening points. Follow this step by removing the seal between master cylinder and brake booster unit then take out and discard the two brake master cylinder-to-brake booster nuts to extract the brake master cylinder although its installation torque should be set to 20 Nm (15 lb-ft). Installation should start with the reverse of removal steps after which the brake system requires bleeding before performing a functional test. Brake fluid from DOT 3 must be used for all repairs to avoid permanent brake component damage while taking care that brakes fluid causes damage to painted surfaces along with plastics so clean spills right away with water.
