2002 Mercury Cougar Brake Booster Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the vacuum brake booster on 2002 Mercury Cougar?

  A: Starting the vacuum brake booster service requires you to remove the air cleaner and then the mass air flow sensor and the air cleaner outlet tube. The next step in the procedure requires you to disconnect the engine wiring harness electrical connector. The first task for vehicles that have automatic transaxle systems includes removal of their automatic transaxle fluid dipstick. Start by taking off the master cylinder then unfasten the brake booster actuator rod retaining clip. The brake booster vacuum hose needs disconnecting yet be cautious to avoid touching or pulling the accelerator cable or speed control cable when possible. The next operation requires brake booster removal but the brake booster connecting rod needs to maintain proper positioning through the bulkhead rubber boot. A complete brake system bleeding procedure becomes essential after the installation is finished. Installation of the new brake booster requires doing the removal steps in reverse order.
