2013 ford explorer brake problems
8 Answers
The calipers have hydraulic cylinders. If the seals go bad they will leak.
Yes, there is a nut on the end of the cylinder and that seems to be where the fluid is leaking out. Are seal replacements a low cost repair? Like, no more than $100.00?
A nut or the bleeder screw? Don't rebuild the caliper, buy a new one.
It is maybe a 9/16" size nut (just a guessimate on the size)
If it has a funny looking end on it and a small hole in the end it is the bleeder screw.
looks more like a nut on the end of a bolt and only a thread or two are beyond the face of the nut. I didn't see anything like a bleeder screw, but I am in my warm house and not my 8F garage right now.
TY F_O_R. I'm going to check Napa etc. for cost of replacement of this cylinder. It's just something I've never had to replace on any vehicle I've owned. Somedays, I want my 83 Accord again - the lowest maintenance vehicle I ever owned and it went 220K miles!
