  Q: How to service and repair the rear brake line on Ford Taurus X?

  A:

  The user must employ manufacturer-approved clean brake fluid for rear brake flexible hose services to stop system contamination together with preventing damage. Avoid contact between brake fluid and painted or plastic surfaces because any spillage must be cleaned immediately by using water. Brake fluid exposure to the adhesive layer on Brake Pads will stop their proper attachment to the Brake Caliper so replacement pads must be installed when contamination happens. To prevent brake adhesion interruptions use only the brake parts cleaner recommended by the manufacturer. Place your vehicle unless neutral on a hoist for starting. Tighten the brake tube fitting that controls the brake flexible hose when a technician performs the processes independently of the brake caliper installation. Perform this step using 17 Nm (13 lb-ft) torque. First disconnect the brake flexible hose from its connection at the brake caliper keeping the new joint tight at 25 Nm (18 lb-ft). To confirm system operation properly you should reverse the removal process and perform system bleeding.

  Q: How to Service and Repair the Front Brake Line Flexible Hose on Ford Taurus X?

  A:

  Start the repair work of the front brake flexible hose after placing the vehicle in neutral gear and using a hoist. Keep only manufacturer-approved fluid that is free of contaminants to safeguard the system from damage during use. The installation procedure demands protection for brake pad components during fluid exposure and bleeding processes. First loosen the brake caliper flow bolt while removing both copper washers and secure the new bolt with a torque of 30 Nm (22 lb-ft). The brake tube fitting needs disconnection from the brake flexible hose with 18 Nm (13 lb-ft) torque for proper reinstallation. The hose bracket bolt requires a torque setting of 30 Nm (22 lb-ft) during new hose installation after you remove it together with the brake flexible hose. The procedure ends with brake caliper flow bolt installation after applying brake fluid as lubrication to threads and washers and completing a brake system bleeding procedure. Brake fluid poses a risk to painted surfaces and plastics so immediate water cleaning is required for spills and attention should be given to avoid brake pad adhesive backing contact since such exposure might require new Brake Pads. Make sure to employ only the brake parts cleaner that is officially specified to steer clear of any residue that might reduce brake pad adhesion.
