Brake fluid replacement (60,000 km/36 months) (Escort 4)

            0

The procedure for replacing brake fluid is similar to the procedure for bleeding the brakes (see subsection 12.6) except that the brake fluid reservoir must be emptied of old brake fluid.

Attention! Old brake fluid is darker in color than new one.


1. Open the first bleed screw and pump the brake pedal until the old brake fluid comes out of the master cylinder.

2. Add brake fluid to the MAX mark in the reservoir and bleed again until new brake fluid appears in the bleed nipple, then screw in the bleed nipple.

3. Bleed the brake circuits of the remaining wheels in the same manner.

Caution! When bleeding, do not allow the brake fluid level in the reservoir to drop below the MIN mark. Otherwise, air may enter the hydraulic brake system.


4. Check the tightness of the bleed nipples, install dust caps on them and wipe off traces of brake fluid.

5. Check the operation of the braking system when the vehicle is moving at low speed.
