Q: How to service and repair the front brake line flexible hose in a disc brake system on Lincoln Navigator?
A: You must remove both wheel and tire and brake flexible hose retainer from the wheel speed sensor harness when repairing the disc brake system's front brake flexible hose. The brake flexible hose retainer must first be detached from the wheel speed sensor harness before removing the brake tube fitting from the brake flexible hose while tightening the fitting to 18 Nm (13 lb-ft) upon hose reassembly. The vehicle maintenance process begins with brake flexible hose retaining clip removal before proceeding to remove the brake caliper flow bolt which requires replacing the two copper washers; reinstalling requires 35 Nm (26 lb-ft) torque on the flow bolt. The technician should remove the brake flexible hose before tightening the bracket bolt to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft). Reverse the uninstallation steps while conducting brake caliper bleeding according to the established protocol. Use only fresh brake fluid from an approved manufacturer and never incorporate reapplied drained fluid since it could lead to damages through contamination. Pay attention since brake fluid damages painted and plastic surfaces yet these can be cleaned with immediate water if any liquid spills occur. Additional emergency medical information about Ford/Motorcraft products can be obtained from 1-800-959-3673 and information on Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) must be consulted if they are available.
Q: How to Service and Repair the Brake Line on Lincoln Town Car?
A: Start servicing and repairing the brake flexible hose by taking off the wheel followed by removing its tire. The brake caliper flow bolt needs to be removed next followed by disposal of two copper washers before adding new copper washers during reassembly with a bolt torque of 48 Nm (35 lb-ft). When integrating the brake tube fitting into the brake flexible hose apply torque to 17 Nm (150 lb-in). Detach the brake flexible hose by removing its bracket bolt after which maintain bolt tightness at 20 Nm (177 lb-in). Conclude the removal steps while performing a brake caliper bleed procedure. The successful brake repair demands both manufacturer-approved brake fluid that is clean and the prohibition of recycling previously drained fluid because such practices may cause system contamination leading to potential damage. Follow fluid handling safety by avoiding contact with painted or plastic surfaces because such contact can lead to damage but rapid water-based cleaning removes the spills. Read warnings on product labels before performing tasks because seeking emergency medical help with MSDS information is necessary to avoid personal injury risk.
