2002 Ford E-250 Econoline Brake Booster Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service the hydraulic brake booster on 2002 Ford E-250 Econoline?

  A: Users should first confirm the power brake booster is not supported by the accumulator then prevent the booster from falling onto the accumulator due to high-pressure nitrogen gas inside which poses a hazard. Discard the accumulator by making a 1.6 mm (1/16-inch) diameter hole at the end before wearing safety glasses to complete this operation because exposing it to both heat and flames or exposure to incineration is dangerous to this equipment. Initiate work only after checking that the brake master cylinder remains in place during power brake booster activation. You should activate the brake pedal multiple times while the engine is off to empty the accumulator. First disconnect the ground cable from the battery system followed by dual battery termination whenever applicable. The next step involves power steering pressure hose disconnection while fitting new Teflon® seals onto power steering pressure fittings. Unfasten the power steering return line hose before you eliminate the two nuts and remove the metal line retainer. First remove the bolts holding the power distribution box bracket then set aside the box before you take off brake master cylinder nuts to move it aside. You should disconnect the low brake fluid level switch connector and the speed control deactivator switch. Take out the stop light switch self-locking pin before removing the stoplight switch together with the brake booster push rod from the brake pedal pin. The power brake booster can be extracted by disconnecting its nuts on the last step. Installation will happen by performing the removal steps in reverse order.
