Escape 4WD V6-181 3.0L DOHC VIN 1 Duratec (2003)
with water.
NOTE: When any part of the hydraulic system has been disconnected for repair or a new component has been installed, air may get into the
system and cause spongy brake pedal action. This requires bleeding of the hydraulic system after it has been correctly connected. The hydraulic
system can be bled manually or with a Brake Bleeder.
Disconnect and cap the brake line from the caliper and remove the caliper.
5. CAUTION: Do no use denatured alcohol for flushing the brake system or cleaning assemblies where alcohol could be trapped. If denatured
alcohol is trapped, it can cause eventual failure of rubber components in the system.
CAUTION: Never allow any petroleum product or mineral oil to contact the inside of a brake hydraulic system. Mineral oil and petroleum
products deteriorate the natural rubber seals used in brake hydraulic systems. If a brake system becomes contaminated, it must be flushed with
clean brake fluid and all rubber seals and flex hoses replaced. Use High Performance DOT 3 Motor Vehicle Brake Fluid C6AZ-19542-AB or
equivalent meeting Ford specification ESA-M6C25-A, DOT 3.
To install, reverse the removal procedure.
