replacing master cylinder, 2007 E450
Hey, kids. I am attempting to replace the master cylinder on my E450. I let it run dry so I figured I take it out and bleed it. Then I figured, hey, as long as it's out, why not put a brand-new one...

Ron,
Mechanic friend was putting an A/C Evaporator in a Mustang. Told me it takes a trained, experienced, tech a day to do one. Probably the same engineering studio/concepts in most Fords. At least from one era.
You've probably worked on A/C controls. The Selector, the Tank, the Hoses, the Check Valve. You might've noticed a thread I had awhile ago where E450 A/C controls went out. It turned out pretty much what you described above has to be done to replace the Tank and/or the Check Valve. They're INSIDE the HVAC cabinet and the A/C has to be discharged/evacuated/recharged to get in there. Needless to say, I bypasses all that with an underhood check valve and tank then a new hose to the inside.
BTW, the NorCold Door Hinge Kit arrived today. Something to install before our next trip.
