  Q: How to remove and replace the brake master cylinder on Lincoln MKX?

  A: Start the brake master cylinder replacement by removing the air cleaner and air cleaner outlet tube and then the battery and its tray before proceeding. The disconnect the electrical connection of the brake fluid level switch while using a suitable vacuum tool to remove fluid from the brake master cylinder reservoir. The next step requires disconnecting the master cylinder brake tube fittings followed by plugging both brake tubes and brake master cylinder ports. Install the brake tube fittings with a torque of 28 Nm (21ft-lbs) and secure the two brake master cylinder nuts to 25 Nm (18 ft-lbs). When reinstalling the brake master cylinder and reservoir perform the backward installation steps while bleeding both components and the brake system. DOT 3 motor vehicle brake fluid stands as the only brake fluid accepted by DOT because alternative fluids damage brake components permanently and disable the braking system. The painted and plastic surfaces may get damaged by brake fluid thus requiring immediate water washing of any spillages. Ford/Motorcraft products need emergency medical help at 1-800-959-3673 although information about their safety can be found on the Material Safety Data Sheet when the product is available.
