How can I clean the master cylinder fluid?

Question

I have Ford Explorer Sport Track and I want to clean the master cylinder fluid, how can I do this?

Answer 1

i use a suction gun to remove the fluid from the res. refill with new fluid, open front bleeders on calipers and let drip until clean fluid appears. go to rear and put a hand vacuum brake bleeder and suck the new fluid through the lines.

Answer 2

If you are on a budget and can't bleed brakes for mega bucks;  remove the fluid with a bulb (rubber thing with tube) and discard it per your community's regulations.  Do not let it touch your vehicle, it acts a paintstripper.

Now you can add some new brake fluid, same precautions, to clean or dilute some of the existing dirty fluid.

Answer 4

Answer 5

Bleeding it to clean out old fluid and putting in the new is your best bet.

Here is a kit similar to one I used. Very simple to work with and doesn't make a mess.

Answer 6

bleed the brakes until you cycle all the old fluid out.

Answer 7

You don't clean it, you replace it. A quality shop will have a machine that will flush the entire system while changing the fluid.
