WARNING: Do not use any fluid other than clean brake fluid meeting manufacturer's specification. Additionally, do not use brake fluid that
has been previously drained. Following these instructions will help prevent system contamination, brake component damage and the risk of
serious personal injury.
WARNING: Carefully read cautionary information on product label. For EMERGENCY MEDICAL INFORMATION seek medical advice. In
the USA or Canada on Ford/Motorcraft products call: 1-800-959-3673. For additional information, consult the product Material Safety Data
Sheet (MSDS) if available. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
NOTICE: Do not allow the brake master cylinder reservoir to run dry during the bleeding operation. Keep the brake master cylinder
reservoir filled with clean, specified brake fluid. Never reuse the brake fluid that has been drained from the hydraulic system. Damage to the
brake system components may occur.
NOTICE: Do not spill brake fluid on painted or plastic surfaces or damage to the surface may occur. If brake fluid is spilled onto a painted or
plastic surface, immediately wash the surface with water.
NOTE: When any part of the hydraulic system has been disconnected for repair or installation of new components, air can enter 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 pressure bleeding equipment.
NOTE: When a new brake master cylinder has been installed or the system has been emptied, or partially emptied, it should be primed to prevent air
from entering the system.
1. Place a box-end wrench on the master cylinder bleeder screw and attach a rubber drain hose to the bleeder screw. Submerge the free end of the
rubber hose into the master cylinder reservoir.
2. Fill the master cylinder reservoir with clean, specified brake fluid.
3. Have an assistant pump the brake pedal until clear fluid flows from the rubber hose, without air bubbles.
4. Tighten the master cylinder bleeder screw to specification. Refer to Specifications.

Remove the rubber hose.
5. Bleed the brake system, refer to Brake System Bleeding See: Brake System Bleeding.
