2004 Mercury Monterey Brake Booster Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the vacuum brake booster and brake master cylinder on 2004 Mercury Monterey?

  A: You should start vacuum brake booster and brake master cylinder servicing and repair by breaking the battery connection followed by the air cleaner assembly removal. You should always use only authorized DOT 3 motor vehicle brake fluid since alternative fluids will result in long-term brake component damage that makes brakes nonfunctional. Attention to brake fluid safety requires protective measures when you must keep your eyes and hands separated from brake fluid since thorough hand washing applies after this procedure. Eyes that come into contact with the material require immediate flushes with running water for 15 minutes before consulting medical professionals in case symptoms continue. Accidental ingestion requires you to consume water followed by vomiting induction to get quick medical help. Brake fluid poses a threat to painted and plastic surfaces therefore all leaks require immediate water-based cleaning to remove the substance. A technician should maintain fluid volume inside the brake master cylinder reservoir through continuous DOT 3 brake fluid addition while bleeder operations take place. Technical staff must also avoid using recycled brake fluid. Take the ordered parts off one after another before sealing the brake line as well as plugging the master cylinder ports. A suitable suction device should be used for draining the reservoir before removing the brake master cylinder. When removing the brake booster you should put the brake master cylinder in the front position. Begin by disconnecting the speed control and accelerator cables then take away the wiring harness retaining bracket before removing the cable bracket bolts which can be set to the side of the bracket. Secure the speed control module by taking off its bolts afterward. An appropriate vacuum device should drain brake fluid from the reservoir just before removing it. The installation should be followed by reversing the removal procedure and bleeding the brake system before checking for proper operation.
