    I really got the blood, sweat and tears on this one! After successfully doing the timing belt, thanks to your video on the subject, the clutch master went out. Pretty straight forward to replace it. Also replaced the slave. HOWEVER: this thing will not bleed! Tried the two person technique, and that an adaptor for my pressure bleed. Set it a 20psi, and it still won't bleed. Arg! I'm going to quit this fun stuff and just bring it over to you; LOL Karl

      @@stuzman52 Turns out I think it might be the clutch itself!!! By pushing against the slave with the clutch throw-out lever, there is a good 1/2" of play. Have no idea if that's normal, but seems excessive. BTW, if bleeding this car again, I think I would bleed the slave out of the car after hooking up the line... By removing the clip holding the flexible hose, the slave can be lifted high enough to eliminate a "high spot" in the line, where a bubble is likely to occur. That would allow a potential air bubble to escape (no pun) more readily while giving you a good view of what IS escaping. Just a thought. I am pretty sure there is no air, and the hydraulics actually move the throw-out; just not very far. Any comment on the clutch lever play would be appreciated. If the clutch...., when will you be doing that video? F-O-R-D; fix or repair daily..., right? I appreciate you Terry; that you actually respond; thanks, Karl

      @@karlrandolph4775 It sounds like you wouldn't have any air in the system especially when you put 20psi of air to the master cylinder. Yes, 1/2" of play is too much after you bleed the system. The lever should be against the slave cylinder once it has been bled. Are you sure that there isn't an issue with the slave cylinder? I can't see how the clutch is an issue. Not planning a clutch job at the moment since it's still working pretty good.

      @@stuzman52 Thanks for your reply; I’m having a hard time thinking it’s the clutch also. New slave however. To clarify; when pushing the throw-out lever back against the slave I get about ½” of travel. There is a fluid rise in the master. If 1/2” of travel is “to much”in your words, perhaps something HAS failed somewhere in the clutch? One of more of the release fingers? Broken pivot? Also noted; there is approx.. ½” lever movement when depressing the clutch pedal; just not enough to release the clutch. BTW, the failure was immediate; the pedal went to the floor without previous warning. Got to ask Terry, is to OK to communicate with you this way in public? I have subscribed, so you have me email? A puzzled Karl

      @stuzman52  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@karlrandolph4775 Very strange indeed Karl and I see from your previous post that you also replaced the clutch master cylinder. I misunderstood your previous posting about the 1/2" of travel and thought that you had 1/2" of clearance. The 1/2" of travel of the piston inside the slave cylinder is what you want and it sounds like you have it. That being the case, it sounds like an issue with the lever, it's pivot point, fingers on the pressure plate, etc. What bothers me is that you mentioned that the fluid was rising about 1/2" inside the master cylinder. I went to my vehicle to verify and the fluid does not rise. Here's what I would do. Get a helper to start the engine and press the clutch pedal down while you watch the movement of the slave cylinder piston. If you get your 1/2" of travel, then have the helper to shift it into any gear and keep a watch on the lever. I think at this point, you'll be able to tell if there is some issue in the hydraulics or within the clutch/pressure plate area. Hope you get it figured out!

I remember in the LiveChat that I mentioned that I was just going to show it installed. That's why I left the footage in there so you could see the struggle :) And always glad to give a shout-out.

      Good hearing from you too DIY-Haven and hope you've been well! It seems like it's always something isn't it. You having a clutch master cylinder to go out on you. I haven't done that job, but I did look over the procedure of removing it while I was looking up the bleeding procedure for the Escape. It didn't look to be a bad job. Now, we know that the world is coming to an end now that you've got rid of the Suzuki :) So, how are you liking that Ranger?

    • @Usmanthemecano
      @Usmanthemecano 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      stuzman it's a good truck. I really got it because of my job. It's a fixer upper but I'm up for the challenge. So far I have replaced the driver seat (junk yard), tailgate handle, water pump and thermostat housing assembly, radiator, fuel filter, SRS sensor light bulb (code 27) front rotors and bearings, brake master cylinder, air filter and airbox cover, 4 new wheels and tires. So after the clutch master cylinder job I plan on doing valve cover gasket, plugs n wires, throttle cable, perhaps new injectors, timing belt (already bought one but couldn't remove the crank pulley the last time). Still got a leak at the power steering high pressure line connection to the pump. I think I'll use Teflon tape this time because the new Teflon seal didn't help. Besides that I love the truck it's a L4 2.5l, very good on gas and ez to work on.

But glad to see you back on the scene we've definitely missed your high quality videos

      Hey Gary and I remember you from your comments and I appreciate you supporting the channel. Funny that you should mention that about myself. Even a lot of my followers don't know me that well or what I even do for work as I'm not a professional automotive technician. I've been thinking of doing a new intro for the channel of what I do for work by showing some of my job duties like electrical and mechanical engineering, programming with PLCs, microcontrollers in different languages such as Java, C++ and assembly. And there's quite a bit of stuff I do on programming with Microsoft's Office Suite. You've given me the inspiration to get started on creating a video and then I can tie it all together of how it relates to vehicles or just about anything out there that needs diagnostics. And thank you for the kind words of being a great mechanic; the secret of that is that I HATE doing a job twice especially when you can take your time and do it right the first time :) Oh, by the way, I'm 65 also, and I guess you noticed all those blood cuts while doing this job LOL. Have a great evening and thanks again!

      It would have made it a little easier when trying to get those fittings aligned. I looked at the new line and compared it to the old one and it looked pretty good. Of course, once I got it in there and ready to screw the fittings together, then it would show up. It was a little pain in trying to get it out of there for sure :) Thanks Wyatt for dropping in and sharing a comment!

    Terry, didn't you know, you can't have thin skin when you post TH-cam videos, ha ha? This is a good demonstration, it's going to help many others. $26 for a custom line is a great deal, some of those turns were really tight.

    • @stuzman52
      @stuzman52  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      HaHa! You would think that I would know that Dave about the thin skin. Having a little drama is a good thing right? I called the hydraulic company and spoke with a guy about making the line and he asked how long was it and how many bends.After I told him that, I said how much do you think it will cost and he said, it should be less than $30. I said let's go for it. And when I got down there, the bill was $26. I can't argue with that price as I'm sure it's a lot cheaper than the dealer item if they had it available. Thanks Dave for dropping in and sharing a comment!

    • @stuzman52
      @stuzman52  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Depending on where you live, the cost of shipment will probably offset the cheap price that I paid for the line being made. I would have made the line myself, but didn't have a decent flaring block tool or the benders. I would had to wait for the shipment of these items and didn't won't to wait.

    Hello Terry,
    both Front Airbags in my escape 2,0 2003 deployed. I have bought everything what needs to be replaced. But one thing is where noboby could help me. It is the question of where the Front impact crash Sensors are positioned at the escape. Ford could not tell me and also none of the mechanics i asked. I also tried to find them but i wasnt successful. Can You please hell me to locate the Front impact Airbag sensors?? Thank You. Cem

    • @stuzman52
      @stuzman52  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      There are three impact sensors. I copied this from the service manual which is for a 2001 Ford Escape 2.0L engine. Being how you're working with the SRS, you may want to invest in a service manual for more information. Hopefully, the info listed below will help which is only pointing out the locations of the sensors as you requested.
      WARNING: THE RESTRAINTS CONTROL MODULE (RCM) ORIENTATION IS CRITICAL
      FOR CORRECT SYSTEM OPERATION. IF A VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH AN AIR BAG
      SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN A COLLISION IN
      WHICH THE CENTER TUNNEL AREA HAS BEEN DAMAGED, INSPECT THE MOUNTING AND
      BRACKET FOR DEFORMATION. IF DAMAGED, THE RCM MUST BE REPLACED WHETHER OR
      NOT THE AIR BAGS HAVE DEPLOYED. IN ADDITION, MAKE SURE THE AREA OF THE
      RCM MOUNTING IS RESTORED TO ITS ORIGINAL CONDITION.
      For this vehicle, the SRS employs three crash sensors. One of the
      sensors is integral to the RCM and is not serviceable separately. In
      addition, there are two side crash sensors located in the LH and RH
      B-pillars. The RCM is mounted on the center tunnel under the instrument
      panel. Mounting orientation is critical for correct operation of all
      crash sensors.
