How does anti lock braking work on Ford Windstar?

The anti-lock braking system on the Ford Windstar is engineered to stop the vehicle within the standards set by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The key to effective braking is when the brake fluid forces the caliper piston against the brake pads, which in turn make contact with…

How do you remove brake line from rotor?

Remove the brake line from the caliper by removing the 10 millimeter bolt at the point of the brake line to caliper connection. Place a drip pan beneath the line to catch any excess brake fluid. Pull the caliper from the rotor. Pull the rotor from the wheel bolts of the Ford.

What kind of brake system does Windstar have?

Including the EBC410 adds Windstar vans from 1995 to 1999. These systems are three channel (except EBC410 – 4 channel) systems that use two position solenoid valves for pressure modulation, two low pressure accumulators and also incorporates a two-piston pump.

Where is the master cylinder in a Windstar?

Tighten the lug nuts with the tire iron. Check the level of brake fluid when you are finished replacing the brakes. The master cylinder (what holds the fluid) is located under the hood, near the windshield on the driver’s side of the Windstar. Press the brake pedal three or four times before driving.
