2001 Ford Mustang Brake Booster Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the hydraulic brake booster on 2001 Ford Mustang?

  A: Starting the hydraulic brake booster service requires first checking to ensure the power brake booster remains untouched from the accumulator while also avoiding dropping the brake booster onto it because the accumulator holds dangerous high-pressure nitrogen gas. Dispose of the accumulator by first drilling a 1.6-mm (1/16-inch) diameter hole into one end after using safety glasses. The brake pedal discharge of the accumulator must occur while the engine stays off before you disconnect the battery cable and several other components. The brake pedal pin stops accepting further removal until you uninstall its self-locking pin, stoplight switch and brake booster push rod before unfastening the power brake booster nuts and removing the booster itself. To install the components follow the removal steps backward while installing fresh Teflon seals on the power steering pressure fittings before performing a Hydro-Boost system bleed procedure.
