BRAKE SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR 1992 Mercury Topaz AUTOMOBILES

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

Disc Brakes -> Front Disc Brakes -> INSPECTION
Vehicle: 1992 Mercury Topaz 2.3 L4 GAS

Remove wheels and inspect brake disc, caliper and linings. The wheel bearings should be inspected at this time and repacked if necessary. Do not get any grease on the linings.

If the caliper is cracked or fluid leakage through the casting is evident, it must be replaced as a unit.

Should it become necessary to remove the caliper when installing new parts, clean all parts in alcohol, then wipe dry using lint-free cloths. Using an air hose, blow out drilled passages and bores. Check dust boots for punctures or tears. If punctures or tears are evident, install new boots during assembly.

  • Determine inside diameter of drum brake surface using brake shoe gauge tool No. D81L-1103-A, or equivalent. Adjust brake shoe diameter to fit gauge. Hold automatic adjusting lever out of engagement while rotating adjusting screw and ensure screw turns freely.
  • Install drum and wheel assembly, then adjust wheel bearings as shown in Fig. .
  • Complete adjustment by applying brakes several times, then check brake operatio...

Vehicle: 1992 Mercury Topaz 3.0 V6 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...

BRAKE SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR 1992 Mercury Topaz AUTOMOBILES

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

Power Brake Units -> Troubleshooting -> BENDIX DIAPHRAGM TYPES -> Brakes Grab -> Hard Pedal Or No Assist -> No Or Slow Release
Vehicle: 1992 Mercury Topaz 2.3 L4 GAS

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

Complaints about power brake operation should be handled as if two separate systems exist. Check for faults in the hydraulic system first. If it is satisfactory, start inspecting the power brake circuit. For a quick check of proper power unit operation, press the brake pedal firmly and then start the engine. The pedal should fall away slightly and less pressure should be needed to maintain the pedal in any position.

Another check begins with installation of a suitable pressure gauge in the brake hydr...

Hydraulic Brake Systems -> HYDRAULIC TUBING -> DOUBLE FLARE/INVERTED SEAT
Vehicle: 1992 Mercury Topaz 2.3 L4 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 ...
