Help! Master Cylinder replacement part.

[jimnkirstin]

2012 Ford Edge Sport 2WD.

 

The master cylinder. When I do an Internet search many surface... but how do I know exactly which one to purchase? I know I want the Motorcraft part. However... there seem to be a variety of part numbers... and I need guidance on which one to purchase.

 

I see that some come with the reservoir... other without. I'd prefer one with the reservoir.

 

Thank you!

May use different master cylinders based on Edge models, engineering size, etc.. In looking up your car, the cylinder is listed separately from the reservoir. Here's what's listed for thr 2012 Edge Sport with the 3.7L engine.

Thank you so very much. That is the one I'll purchase. Some additional questions,Sir:

 

1. Should I reuse my existing reservoir, or purchase a new one?

 

2. Are there any other parts I should purchase? I'll be doing this myself, and prefer to be prepared. Nuts? Seals? Gaskets?

 

I've watched a few vids... know which tool(s) to use... but read something about bench-bleeding the new cylinder. Isn't it just a "be careful" with the hydraulic lines... remove the old... reinstall the new... tighten things up... then renew the brake fluid... bleed... test... and done?

 

Very much I appreciate your wisdom. Thank you.
