God sent, I lost that little sealing tip on the feed line, but thank God I found it the next day after I purchased the master cylinder. Thank you for this video. cost me $55.00 and a day out of work, but now my 2017 Focus ST can drive again.

I had to do this today on my Focus ST Diesel, only done 23k from new and last winter the frigging pedal started to stick down. Mine is incredibly tight in the bay as the air con pipes run infront of the high/low pressure pipes so making them hard to remove off the cylinder, ended up removing the scuttle and wiper arms. I removed the whole steering column as I needed to see and for room. I managed to get mine out and in without undoing that crappy bar that runs across the top of the pedals but it was tight. This part is such a common fail on the Mk3's but as usual all denied by Ford, some are lucky and have it happen during warranty as for me?? Royally Shafted! But at least I'm competently able to do the job myself. Enjoyed the vid!!

It is very similar to the VW one’s, I have a video on a A3 master cylinder which is quite similar. I have some brain frying content on the way soon, I replaced a crank in a Mazda 6 with and aftermarket one & it wouldn’t run afterwards. The moral of the story is you get what you pay for 😬😂😂😂

@kennedy's garage this is an awesome one! You've inspired me to tackle this challenging task myself (seems reasonably tangible) My only concern is finding the correct torque setting for the steering column linkage bolt and whether it will need threadlocker (also which one). I have watched 17 vids and been all over the web - I have no specs lists given to me. Any ideas?

@kennedysgarage3281 6 ай бұрын

Just squeeze it tight and don’t snap it off. Most guys in the trade a few years & in the real world just do that. It won’t come loose, even without thread lock but use it if you’d feel happier. The very best of luck with it Jay 🤞🤞🤞

Thank you for this. My Car has been standing now for a while because I am not sure what issue I am having but hopefully one of the young geniuses here can assist The symptoms was driving at Highway speeds, trying to Downshift and clutch pedal went rock solid, then I pressed on it a bit harder and then it went to nothing, so now there is no pressure on the clutch pedal whatsoever, and after couple of days my Fluid level is empty, but no visible leaks under car clutch, or under the pedal in the car Any ideas?

How would you go about diagnosing these? Done a few recently pedal sticking to floor, no leak slave or master. Feel like I'm guessing at the slave most of the time but recently been caught out with faulty master cylinder. Great video as always!

@kennedysgarage3281 Жыл бұрын

Mostly the pedal goes soft overnight & what I find a good test is : Clamp the flexible hose from chassis to gearbox then leave overnight. Then see if the pedal is soft or hard the next day ?? Soft = master cylinder Hard = slave cylinder Does that make sense??

@budj7898 Жыл бұрын

@@kennedysgarage3281 so leave the clamp on and if the master is leaking internally then the pedal will be soft. Slave blanked off so rules that out. Perfect, will try that next time! Thanks for the help

Do you know if it's possible to remove clutch bracket from clutch master cylinder without removing fluid lines, need to do thist so I can get to blower motor to press tab and turn motor to replace it.
