Leaky master cylinder 99
The brake master cylinder, is leaking from the rear mounting bolt area.
Does anyone have experience on replacement and bleeding. Did you have to bleed the ABS with the special tool or were you able to bleed the system normally, each caliper at a time without buying the ABS bleeding tool. Are there any tricks to the change out. thanks, jim 1999 EB-Explore |

It says: On 96 or earlier models (manual goes up to 2001) with four-wheel anti-lock brake system do not attempt to remove the master cylinder. .... can allow air to get into the ... unit which requires special bleeding procedure. It also says to bench bleed other master cylinders. It also says brake systems on 96 and earlier models with four wheel anti-lock system cannot be bled at home if air gets into the master cylinder and/or the hydraulic control unit. It also says if you don't have ABS then brake bleeding is the normal, routine method. What it doesn't seem to say is that 97 and newer Explorers don't have four wheel anti-lock brake systems but supposes it. Well, this does not seem to agree with what you are asking and my '97 has ABS so I'm not quite sure what the hell Hayne's is talking about. |
