  Q: How to remove and replace the brake master cylinder on 2.3L and 3.0L engines on Mercury Milan?

  A:

  When servicing the brake master cylinder in 2.3L and 3.0L engines start with disconnection of the brake fluid level warning switch electrical connector. A suitable suction device can drain brake fluid from the reservoir but always use brake fluid which meets manufacturer standards to avoid damaging the system. The Clutch Master Cylinder feed hose must be removed and its end plugged when working on a manual transmission vehicle. Break tube fittings should be disconnected before the tubes and master cylinder ports receive plugs. Apply the fittings with torque to 20 Nm (177 lb-in) unless the vehicle has Electronic Stability Control (ESC) because 28 Nm (21 lb-ft) torque is required with ESC. When installing the master cylinder install brake master cylinder nuts then secure them tightly at 25 Nm (18 lb-ft). Before moving on with brake master cylinder removal one must handle the flexible brake tubes with care to prevent damage while installing them. Install the new master cylinder by doing reverse procedures then complete bleeding of the master cylinder system followed by clutch master cylinder bleed process.

  Q: How to service and repair the brake master cylinder for the 3.5L engine on Mercury Milan?

  A:

  Service operations on the 3.5L brake master cylinder need to start by taking the brake fluid reservoir out of the vehicle. A vehicle equipped with a manual transmission requires disconnecting and plugging the feed hose on the Clutch Master Cylinder. The service process requires disconnecting brake tube fittings followed by plugging all associated tubes and ports prior to reinstall. The tube and port tightening torque must be set to 17 Nm (13 lb-ft). Fix the two brake master cylinder nuts with a torque value of 25 Nm (18 lb-ft) when installing the components. The master cylinder removal procedure should be executed backward to install the component while bleeding the system including both the master cylinders when applicable. The installation of brake fluid requiresatori-approved fluid that adheres to manufacturer specifications while separation of used fluid is necessary to stop contamination and component damage. Brake fluid should be kept away from painted or plastic materials since it causes harm; immediately wash away any fluid spills using water.
