Tip & How-To about Ford Ranger
The problem with rangers and explorers is the angle of the master cylinder and slave cylinder.They tend to trap an air bubble inside the that is very difficult to remove.If you are replacing the master the you should completely bleed it before you install the new one.The way I do this is place it in a vice with the line attached and the line bungie corded to the floor, to hold it straight.Hold the resivoir in the air and add brake fluid till the bubbles stop( be patient).After bubbles have stopped pump the master using the rod , keep doing this till you cannot push in on the rod.If you cand push in on the rod there is air in the system.Then free the line from the floor and attach the slave to the line but keep it above the master so the air does not go back into master.Now have someone pump the master 4 times and hold it in , the brake the bleader loose making sure they do not release master so as to not **** air back in the line.Make sure to keep the resivoir full and continue to do this till you cannot compress master.Dissconnect the slave and install the parts.the system is bled.Good luck!
