Servicing Metering Valve

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 16 other vehicles, including the 1985 Mercury Topaz, 1985 Mercury Marquis, 1985 Mercury Lynx, 1985 Mercury Grand Marquis, and 1985 Mercury Cougar. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. On disc brake equipped vehicles, the metering section of combination valve must be held open before pressure bleeding.
  2. Hold metering valve open while pressure bleeding front brakes. To loosen front mounting bolt and install pressure bleeding tool on combination valve, valve stem should be fully extended or depressed.
NOTE: Never reintroduce brake fluid that has been drained from hydraulic brake system or that has been allowed to stand in an open container for an extended period of time. Also, do not use fluid that contains a petroleum base. Petroleum based fluids will cause swelling and distortion of rubber parts in hydraulic system.
