2004 Ford F-150 Brake Booster Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the vacuum brake booster and brake master cylinder on 2004 Ford F-150?

  A: You need to disconnect the battery before working on the brake booster vacuum together with the brake master cylinder. Exercising caution with brake fluid is necessary because it contains polyglycol ethers and polyglycols while avoiding eye contact and performing complete hand wash after handling. Contact with the eyes requires immediate water flush for 15 minutes followed by immediate medical help to treat persistent irritation. Drinking water followed by vomiting induction is necessary before you search for immediate medical treatment after a potential ingestion. It is important to prevent brake fluid from contacting painted or plastic surfaces because any spillages must receive urgent cleaning to protect the surfaces. Follow all maintenance steps by first capping the brake line then plugging the port before taking out tubular components beginning with front then rear brake tubes. The brake master cylinder requires placing to the side when removing it while a parallel brake booster removal is occurring. Drain the reservoir contents using an appropriate vacuum device before removing it. The brake pedal needs to be connected to the booster rod before workers detach or reset the speed control deactivator switch. To finish the removal reverse the installation steps and perform brake system bleeding if the hydraulic system needed opening.
