2002 Ford Explorer Brake Pedal Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the brake pedal assembly for fixed automatic transmission on 2002 Ford Explorer?

  A: The first step in servicing the brake pedal assembly with fixed automatic transmission is disconnecting the brake booster push rod but be cautious because the brake pedal return spring will push the pedal upwards. Safeguard the bushing and hairpin clip when taking out the stoplight switch because they must be used for later reinstall. Separate the stoplight switch with brake booster push rod from brake pedal pin by removing the brake booster push rod bushing and hairpin clip first. The second step requires removing the bulkhead sound insulator and its attached bolts. Supporting both brake master cylinder and power brake booster inside the engine bay should be done before unfastening the brake pedal assembly nuts. Start by installing the nuts at the upper left-hand position before turning them in a clockwise direction while using new nuts for the brake pedal bracket. The procedure finishes after you implement the removal procedures in reverse order.
