Q: How to remove and replace the brake master cylinder on a 3.5L engine on Lincoln MKZ?
A: The procedure to replace the brake master cylinder on a 3.5L vehicle begins with using brake fluid that meets manufacturer requirements along with preventing the use of previously drained fluid to stop damage and contamination. The product label contains essential warning information that you must read thoroughly before asking for emergency medical guidance. Keep brake fluid away from painted or plastic surfaces because immediate water cleaning will correct such spills. Meticulous brake fluid reservoir removal must be the first step of the procedure. Disassemble and block the clutch master cylinder feed hose when manual transmission systems operate on the vehicle. You must then disconnect the brake tube fittings before applying plugs to each brake tube along with the master cylinder ports. To install tighten fittings to 28 Nm (21 lb-ft) specifically for vehicles with Electronic Stability Control (ESC) unless the vehicle lacks ESC when the proper torque will be 20 Nm (177 lb-in). When installing the master cylinder install first remove its two nuts then apply torque to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft). The brake master cylinder installation requires you to proceed with caution for vehicles that include ESC to avoid flexible brake tube twisting. Uninstall the components in the reverse order before bleeding the master cylinder while also performing clutch master cylinder bleeding where needed.
Q: How to service the brake master cylinder on Lincoln Town Car?
A: Service of the brake master cylinder requires brake tube fitting removal from the master cylinder followed by tightening them to 17 Nm (13 lb-ft) during reinstallation. The service requires removal of two brake master cylinder nuts then detachment of the brake fluid level switch connector before finally tightening these nuts to 23 Nm (17 lb-ft) torque specification. Proceed by removing the brake master cylinder after you detach the wiring harness bracket then place it in a safe position. Finish the installation by following all removal steps backward while performing a brake system bleed procedure. Clean brake fluid with specifications from the manufacturer should be the only choice for replacement while previously drained brake fluid must always be avoided to protect brake components from contamination. Pay attention to avoiding brake fluid contact with painted surfaces and plastic materials since it will harm them. Any fluid contact should get immediate water washing. Contact Ford/Motorcraft through 1-800-959-3673 in the USA or Canada to obtain emergency medical information and refer to Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) available for each product.
Q: How to service and repair the brake master cylinder on Lincoln Navigator?
A: The first step to repair or service the brake master cylinder is to separate the battery ground cable alongside the brake fluid level warning switch electrical connector. The installation of speed control requires disconnecting the brake pressure switch electrical connector as well. The tube nut at the spacer requires two wrenches when disconnecting brake lines in order to prevent spacer movement. Then use plugged lines and ports before proceeding. Complete the above installation steps before extracting the brake master cylinder through removal of its two nuts. The installation process should begin by reversing the unassembly sequence and complete brake master cylinder bleeding. Users must exercise care when handling brake fluid as it contains polyglycol ethers and polyglycol; immediate eye contact requires washing thoroughly with water followed by medical consultation. Also seek immediate medical help if hand irritation occurs. Drinking water followed by vomiting induction is the initial step before seeking medical help right away when ingesting occurs.
