- 1993 explorer
As some of you may know from my previous post that I was taking my explorer to the shop to have it looked at. Well after dealing with the shop I decided to bring it home until I had the money to have it fixed. Anyway when I picked up my explorer I started on way home and when I hit the brakes pedal went to the floor and barely yet gradually slowed down. So I limped it home and checked the brake fluid. Fluid was full so I'm not leaking brake fluid which tells me that my master cylinder is gone. While reading my repair manual is states that "master cylinder replacement can't be done by the home mechanic and must be done by a qualified shop or other service center. As the procedure to properly bleed the abs system is impossible for the home mechanic to do." The part is only $45 but how does one "properly" bleed the abs system. Does anyone have some light they can shed on this for me? As always any and all input is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,Bill
