How to prime the brake master cylinder safely and effectively on Ford Windstar?

The braking procedure must start by priming the brake master cylinder in vehicle equipment or on a bench while using caution because brake fluid contains polyglycol ethers and polyglycols. Hands should receive complete hygiene care after fluid exposure while eye flushing with water must continue for fifteen minutes followed by medical evaluation for sustained irritation. The brake system depends on High Performance DOT 3 Brake Fluid C6AZ-19542-AB or a meeting Ford specification ESA-M6C25-A DOT 3 equivalent in the brake master cylinder reservoir because running it dry will introduce air to the system thus creating spongy brake pedal response. Before in-vehicle priming you should detach the brake lines from the brake master cylinder and for bench priming you must mount the brake master cylinder in a vise while connecting bent short tubes into the reservoir. The primary piston should be depressed at a slow pace or an assistant should pedal the brake while monitoring fluid output through both tubes searching for bubble-free fluid. You should install the brake master cylinder to its vehicle position before taking out the short tubes while installing outlet tubes and adding fluid to the reservoir as needed. An assistant should keep pressing on the brake pedal while test fitting each brake outlet tube at the brake master cylinder one by one then tightening them until all expelled fluid shows no air bubbles. The brake system bleeding process results in completion of the procedure.

How to service and repair the brake master cylinder on Ford Windstar?

The first task to repair the brake master cylinder requires disconnecting the battery ground cable. Begin by taking out the air cleaner assembly before separating both speed control switch connector and fluid level sensor connector. First disconnect the brake tubes after you remove the wiring bracket nut and carry the wiring bracket to the side. Secondly remove the brake master cylinder nuts before taking out the brake master cylinder. Brake system bleeding must be performed after reinstalling the brake master cylinder while following the reverse order of removal steps.
