1 BRAKE SYSTEM TESTS

Always check
the
fluid level
in the

master cylinder before performing
the

test procedures.
If the
fluid level
is not

within
1/4
inch
of the top of the mas-

ter cylinder reservoirs,
add
Ford

Brake Fluid
—
Extra Heavy Duty —

Part Number C6AZ-19542-A
(ESA-

M6C25-A)
or
equivalent
for all
brake

applications.
The
extra heavy duty

brake fluid
is
colored blue
for
identifi-

cation purposes.
Do not mix low tem-

perature brake fluids with
the
speci-

fied brake fluid.

Should
one of the
wheel brakes
be

locked
and the
vehicle must
be
moved,

open
the
bleeder screw long enough
to

let
out a few
drops
of
brake fluid.

This bleeding operation will release

the brakes
but
will
not
correct
the

cause
of
trouble.
BRAKE PEDAL FREE

HEIGHT
AND
TRAVEL

MEASUREMENTS

With
the
engine running
for
full

power brake operation, measure
the

brake pedal free height,
and
check
the

brake pedal travel with
the use of the

Brake Pedal Pressure Gauge, Tool

WRE-5OO-5O
as
follows:

BRAKE PEDAL FREE HEIGHT

MEASUREMENT

1.
Insert
a
slender, sharp pointed

prod through
the
carpet
and
sound

deadener
to the
dash panel metal
and

measure
the
distance
to the
brake

pedal
(Fig. 1).

2.
If the
position
of the
pedal
is not

within specification, check
the
brake
pedal linkage
for
missing, worn,
or

damaged bushings,
or
loose attaching

bolts
and
replace them,
if
required.

3.
If the
pedal free height
is
still

out
of
specification, check
the
brake

pedal booster
or
master cylinder
to be

sure
the
correct parts
are
installed.

Replace
the
worn
or
damaged parts
as

necessary.

BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL

MEASUREMENT

1.
Install
a
Brake Pedal Effort

Gauge
on the
brake pedal
pad
(Fig. 2).

2.
Hook
a
steel measuring tape
to

the brake pedal
as
shown
in Fig. 1.

Measure
and
record
the

1.
Disconnect the master cylinder

from the booster assembly and secure

away from the booster without discon-

necting the brake tubes.

2.
Reinstall the air filter assembly

on the booster if it was removed with

the master cylinder (Fig. 8).

3.
Install and tighten the master

cylinder retaining nuts to retain the

air filter assembly securely against the

booster body and to seal the booster

bellows against air leaks.

4.
Place the gauge against the

master cylinder mounting surface of

the air filter assembly.

5.
Adjust the push rod screw to

provide a slight tension against the

inner edge of the adjustment gauge

slot. (Approximately 5 pounds of ten-

sion against the push rod is required

to assure that the push rod is firmly

seated in the booster assembly.)

6. Remove the retaining nuts from

the booster master cylinder mounting

studs.

7.
Install the master cylinder on the

brake booster and tighten the retain-

ing nuts to the specified torque.

The push rod length verification of

the Bendix power brake booster

assemblies is accomplished as follows:

1.
Disconnect the master cylinder

from the booster assembly and secure

away from the booster without discon-

necting the brake tubes.

2.
Adjust the push rod screw to

provide a slight tension against the

inner edge of the adjustment gauge

slot. (Approximately 5 pounds of ten-
sion against the push rod is required

to assure that the push rod is firmly

seated in the booster assembly.) See

Figure 8.

3.
Install the master cylinder on the

brake booster and tighten the retain-

ing nuts to the specified torque.

Do not set up side forces on the

push rod as it may break the valve

plunger.

This is an approximate adjustment

only. To verify the adjustment, look

through the make-up (rear) port of the

master cylinder when installing the

master cylinder to the booster. The

master cylinder piston should not

move more than 0.015 inch as it con-

tacts the push rod. No movement

(exact contact) is ideal.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM BLEEDING

AND CENTRALIZING OF THE

DIFFERENTIAL VALVE

When any part of the hydraulic sys-

tem has been disconnected for repair

or replacement, air may enter the sys-

tem and cause spongy pedal action.

Bleed the hydraulic system after it has

been properly connected, to be sure

that all air is expelled.

MANUAL BLEEDING

The Lincoln Continental hydraulic

brake system is to be bled only with

pressure bleeding equipment.

The primary and secondary (front

and rear) hydraulic brake systems are

individual systems and are bled separ-

ately. Bleed the longest line first on

the individual system being serviced.

During the complete bleeding opera-

tion,
DO NOT allow the reservoir to

run dry. Keep the master cylinder res-

ervoirs filled with Ford Fluid—Extra

Heavy Duty — Part Number C6AZ-

19542-A (ESA-M6C 25-A). The extra

heavy duty brake fluid is colored blue

for identification purposes. Do not

mix low temperature brake fluids with

the specified fluid during the bleeding

operations. Never re-use brake fluid

which has been drained from the hy-

draulic systems.

1.
If the master cylinder is

equipped with a bleed screw, loosen

the bleed screw. Push the brake pedal

down slowly through its full travel.

Close the bleeder fitting and return

the pedal to the fully released posi-

tion. Repeat this operation until fluid

is free of air bubbles, then tighten the

bleeder screw. Do not use the second-

ary piston stop screw, located on the

bottom of the master cylinder to bleed

the brake system. Loosening or re-

moving this screw could result in dam-

age to the secondary piston or stop

screw.

2.
To bleed the secondary (rear)

brake system, position a suitable 3/8

inch box wrench (Fig. 9) on the bleed-

er fitting on the brake wheel cylinder.

Attach a rubber drain tube to the

bleeder fitting. The end of the tube

should fit snugly around the bleeder

fitting.

Refill the master cylinder reser-

voir after each wheel cylinder is bled

and install the master cylinder cover

and gasket. Be sure the diaphragm

type gasket is properly positioned in

the master cylinder cover. When the

bleeding operation is completed, the

fluid level should be filled to within

1/4 inch of the top of the reservoirs.

7. If the primary (front brake) sys-

tem is to be bled. Repeat steps 2

through 6 at the right front brake cal-

iper or cylinder and ending at the left

front brake caliper or cylinder.

8. On disc brake equipped models

be sure that the front brake pistons

are returned to their normal positions

and that the shoe and lining assem-

blies are properly seated by depressing

the brake pedal several times until

normal pedal travel is established.

9. Centralize the pressure differen-

tial valve. Refer to the Centralizing

the Pressure Differential Valve proce-

dures which follow.

PRESSURE BLEEDING

The Lincoln Continental hydraulic

brake system is to be bled only with

pressure bleeding equipment.

Bleed the longest lines first. The

bleeder tank should contain enough

new Ford Brake Fluid to complete the

bleeding operation. Use Ford Brake

Fluid — Extra Heavy Duty — Part

Number C6AZ-19542-A (ESA-

M6C25-A) or equivalent for all brake

applications. The brake fluid is col-

ored blue for identification purposes.

Do not mix low temperature brake

fluid with the specified brake fluid

during the bleeding operations. Never

re-use brake fluid that has been

drained from the hydraulic system.

The tank should be charged with ap-

proximately 10 to 30 pounds of air

pressure. Never exceed 50 pounds

pressure.

1.
Clean all dirt from the master

cylinder reservoir cover.

2.
Remove the master cylinder res-

ervoir cover and rubber gasket, and

fill the master cylinder reservoir with

the specified brake fluid. Install the

pressure bleeder adapter tool to the

master cylinder, and attach the bleed-

er tank hose to the fittng on the

adapter.

Master cylinder pressure bleeder

adapter tools can be obtained from

the various manufacturers of pressure

bleeding equipment. Follow the in-

structions of the manufacturer when

installing the adapter.

3.
If the master cylinder is

equipped with a bleed screw, loosen
the bleed screw and bleed the master

cylinder until the fluid is free of air

bubbles; then, tighten the bleed screw.

Do not use the secondary piston stop

screw, located on the bottom of the

master cylinder, to bleed the master

cylinder.

4.
If the rear wheel cylinders, the

secondary brake system, are to be

bled, position a 3/8 inch box wrench

(Fig. 9) on the bleeder fitting on the

right rear brake wheel cylinder. At-

tach a bleeder tube to the bleeder fit-

ting. The end of the tube should fit

snugly around the bleeder fitting.

5. Open the valve on the bleeder

tank to admit pressurized brake fluid

to the master cylinder reservoir.

6. Submerge the free end of the

tube in a container partially filled with

clean brake fluid, and loosen the

bleeder fitting.

7.
When air bubbles cease to ap-

pear in the fluid at the submerged end

of the bleeder tube, close the bleeder

fitting and remove the tube.

8. Repeat steps 3 through 7 at the

left rear wheel cylinder.

9. If the vehicle is equipped with

disc brakes, repeat steps 4 through 7,

starting at the right front disc caliper

and ending at the left front disc cali-

per.

On Lincoln Continental models the

front wheel and tire assemblies must
be removed to gain access to the

bleeder fittings on the calipers. Also

on Lincoln Continental models the

metering valve release rod must be

pulled outward and held a minimum

of 1/16 inch (Fig. 10) while bleeding

the primary brake system.

10.
If the vehicle contains drum-

type front brakes and the primary

(front) brake system is to be bled, re-

peat steps 4 through 7, starting at the

right front wheel cylinder ending at

the left front wheel cylinder.

11.
When the bleeding operation is

completed, close the bleeder tank

valve and remove the tank hose from

the adapter fitting.

12.
On disc brake equipped ve-

hicles,
be sure that the front brake

pistons are returned to their normal

positions and that the shoe and lining

assemblies are properly seated by dep-

ressing the brake pedal several times

until normal pedal travel is esta-

blished.

13.
Remove the Pressure Bleeder

Adapter Tool. Fill the master cylinder

reservoirs to within 1/4 inch of the

top.
Install the master cylinder cover

and gasket. Be sure the Diaphragm

type gasket is properly positioned in

the master cylinder cover.

14.
Centralize the pressure differen-

tial valve as follows.

4.
Front wheel bearing end play is

critical and must be within specifica-

tions.

5.
Be sure the vehicle is centered on

the hoist before servicing any front

end components, to avoid bending or

damaging the rotor splash shield on

full right or left wheel turns.

6. The proportioning valve should

not be disassembled or adjustments

attempted on it.

7.
Riding of the brake pedal (com-

mon on left foot applications) should

be avoided during vehicle operation.

8. The wheel and tire must be re-

moved ' separately from the brake

rotor, unlike drum brakes where the
wheel, tire and drum are removed as a

unit.

9. On floating caliper type disc

brakes whenever the caliper is re-

moved the caliper locating pins should

be inspected for wear or damage.

10.
On floating caliper type disc

brakes, the caliper assembly must be

removed from the spindle prior to re-

moval of the shoe and lining assem-

blies.

11.
On floating caliper type disc

brakes the calipers must not be inter-

changed from one side to the other.

When the caliper is installed on its

proper anchor plate and spindle, the

bleeder screw will point to the rear of

the vehicle (Fig. 22). If a caliper is in-

stalled on the wrong side of the vehi-

cle,
it is not possible to bleed the sys-

tem properly.

12.
Do not attempt to clean or re-

store oil or grease soaked brake lin-

ings.
When contaminated linings are

found, brake linings must be replaced

in complete axle sets.

DRUM BRAKES

1.
Remove the wheel from the

drum, and remove the drum as out-

lined in Part 2-2, Section 2.

2.
Brush all dust from the backing

plates and interior of the brake

drums.

3.
Inspect the brake shoes for ex-

cessive lining wear or shoe damage. If

the lining is worn within 1/32 inch of

the rivet heads or if the shoes are

damaged, they must be replaced. Re-

place any lining that had been con-

taminated with oil, grease or brake
fluid. Replace lining in axle sets. Prior

to replacement of lining, the drum di-

ameter should be checked to deter-

mine if oversize linings must be in-

stalled.

4.
Check the condition of brake

shoes,
retracting springs, hold-down

springs, and drum for signs of over-

heating. If the shoes have a slight blue

coloring, indicating overheating, re-

placement of the retracting and hold-.

down springs is strongly recommended.

Overheated springs lose their pull and

could cause the new lining i:o wear

prematurely, if they are not replaced.

5. If the vehicle has 30,000 or more

miles of operation on the brake linings

or signs of overheating are present

when relining brakes, the wheel cylin-

ders should be disassembled and in-

spected for wear and entrance of dirt

into the cylinder. The cylinder cups

should be replaced, thus avoiding fu-

ture problems.

6. Inspect all other brake parts and

replace any that are worn or dam-

aged.

7.
Inspect the brake drum and, if

necessary, refinish. Refer to Part 2-2,

Section 4 for refinishing.

BRAKE BOOSTER

Check the booster operation as

noted in Part 2-1, Section 1, Power

Brake Functional Test. If the brake

booster is damaged or defective, re-

place it with a new booster. The brake
