Disc Brakes -> Front Disc Brakes -> Brake System Bleed -> SYSTEM PRIMING -> WHEEL BLEEDING SEQUENCE
Vehicle: 1992 Ford Tempo LX 2.3 L4 GAS

Pressure bleeding is recommended for all hydraulic disc brake systems.

The disc brake hydraulic system can be bled manually or with pressure bleeding equipment. The brake pedal will require more pumping and frequent checking of fluid level in master cylinder during bleeding operation.

Do not use brake fluid drained from the hydraulic system when bleeding the brakes. Be sure the disc brake pistons are returned to their normal positions and the shoe and lining assemblies are properly seated. Before driving the vehicle, check brake operation to be sure a firm pedal has been obtain...

Vehicle: 1992 Ford Tempo LX 2.3 L4 GAS

FRONT & REAR SPLIT SYSTEMS

When the brake pedal is depressed, both the primary (front brake) and the secondary (rear brake) master cylinder pistons are moved simultaneously to exert hydraulic fluid pressure on their respective independent hydraulic systems. The fluid displacement of the master cylinder is proportioned to fulfill the requirements of each of the two independent hydraulic brake systems, Fig. .

If a failure of a rear (secondary) brake system should occur, initial brake pedal movement causes the unrestricted secondary piston to bottom in the master cylinder bore. Primary p...

Includes anti-lock brakes, disc, drum, power and hydraulic brake services diagnostics and procedures for domestic and imported 1992 Ford Tempo cars and light trucks from 1990+.

Hydraulic Brake Systems -> HYDRAULIC TUBING -> DOUBLE FLARE/INVERTED SEAT
Vehicle: 1992 Ford Tempo GLS 3.0 V6 GAS

Never use copper tubing as a replacement for steel tubing. Copper tubing is subject to fatigue cracking and corrosion which could result in brake system failure.

Steel tubing is used to conduct hydraulic pressure to the brakes. All fittings, tubing and hose should be inspected for rusted, damaged or defective flared seats. The tubing is equipped with a double flare/inverted seat or I.S.O. flare to insure more positive seating in the fitting. To repair or reflare tubing, proceed as follows:

DOUBLE FLARE/INVERTED SEAT
  • Cut off the damaged seat or damaged tubing.
  • Ream out any burrs or ...

Vehicle: 1992 Ford Tempo GLS 3.0 V6 GAS

On vehicles equipped with anti-lock brakes refer to appropriate "Anti-Lock Brakes".

VACUUM ASSIST DIAPHRAGM TYPE

The vacuum assist diaphragm assembly multiplies the force exerted on the master cylinder piston in order to increase the hydraulic pressure delivered to the wheel cylinders while decreasing the effort necessary to obtain acceptable stopping performance.

Vacuum assist units get their energy by opposing engine vacuum to atmospheric pressure. A piston, cylinder and flexible diaphragm utilize this energy to provide brake assistance. The diaphragm is balanced with engine vacuum unt...
