Hydraulic Brake Systems -> Brake System Bleed -> DUAL MASTER CYLINDER BLEEDING NOTES -> SYSTEM PRIMING -> TESTING DUAL MASTER CYLINDERS -> WHEEL BLEEDING SEQUENCE
Vehicle: 1994 Ford Escort 1.9 L4 GAS

Disc Brakes -> Front Disc Brakes -> BRAKE DISC SERVICE
Vehicle: 1994 Ford Escort LX 1.9 L4 GAS

Disc brake service is extremely critical due to the close tolerances required in machining the brake disc to ensure proper brake operation.

Maintaining close control of the shape of the rubbing surfaces is necessary to prevent brake roughness. In addition, the surface finish must be non-directional and maintained at a micro-inch finish. This is necessary to avoid pulls and erratic performance and promote long lining life and equal lining wear of both the left and right brakes.

Do not attempt to refinish the rubbing surfaces unless precision equipment, ca...
