  Q: How to Service and Repair the Rear Brake Line Flexible Hose in a Disc Brake System on Mercury Montego?

  A:

  Service operations on the rear brake flexible hose in disc brake systems must begin with placing the vehicle in neutral gear position and hoisting it up. DOT 3 motor vehicle brake fluid stands as the only approved type for brake use because alternative fluids will irrevocably hurt brake elements thereby disabling brake functions thus endangering human safety. Users must show care when working with brake fluid because it is damaging for paint and plastic materials thus requiring quick water wash of any drips. Brake fluid that touches the adhesive area of Brake Pads will require replacement with new pads. The designated brake parts cleaner represents the only acceptable solution because other substances might affect the adhesive bonding capability of brake pads. Start the brake removal by unfastening the brake line fitting from the brake flexible hose and secure it to 17 Nm (13 lb-ft) during installation. detach the retaining clip from the brake flexible hose before disconnecting this hose from the Brake Caliper while performing reinstallation by tightening it at 25 Nm (18 lb-ft). The service concludes with a reverse of removal actions and a brake system bleeding process.

  Q: What Precautions Should Be Taken When Servicing the Rear Brake Line on Mercury Montego?

  A:

  The correct braking solution for rear brake flexible hose servicing is exclusively DOT 3 motor vehicle brake fluid since other types lead to brake component damage and brake malfunction which may result in injury. Brain fluid contains two compounds named polyglycol ethers and polyglycols which require eye protection while under their influence and require complete hand wash after use. Eyes affected by contact require immediate water flush for 15 minutes followed by doctor consultation if you experience long-lasting irritation. Consumption of brake fluid requires water consumption followed by vomiting purposes before contacting medical staff immediately. Any liquid brake fluid contact with plastic or painted surfaces requires immediate cleaning with water since it poses a direct harm to materials. Application of brake fluid to the adhesive strip on Brake Pads requires new pad installation because contact between these materials will damage the pad adhesive. Only the brake parts cleaner designated for use should be employed because alternative formulas leave debris that impedes brake pad installation onto Brake Calipers. Brake flexible hoses come with new calipers which can be installed independently of each other. Seal the brake flexible hose by tightening its brake line fitting to 17 Nm before reinstallation. Before installation of the brake flexible hose it must be separated from the caliper by removing its retaining clip while the installation torque should reach 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.). Return to the process steps to perform the reverse procedures while completing a system bleed procedure.
