2005 Ford Freestar Brake Pedal Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the brake pedal assembly on 2005 Ford Freestar?

  A: Adjustable pedals on the vehicle should be positioned fully forward if maintenance work will be done on the brake pedal assembly. Unfasten the steering column opening cover by removing its three bolts before removing the cover and retightening the bolts to 8 Nm (71 inch lbs.) when reinstalling. To begin the procedure remove the steering column opening reinforcement's two bolts after which you can discard the reinforcement piece while following up with 8 Nm (71 inch lbs.) tightness when reinstalling the pieces. After removing the left-hand side demister duct disconnect the upper bolt from the steering intermediate shaft before placing the shaft away while fastening it to 30 Nm torque (22 ft. lbs.) for reinstallation. First suspend the steering wheel using the needle-nose pliers before removing its redundant self-locking clip cover and self-locking clip. Remove the brake pedal position (BPP) switch together with booster rod and bushing from the brake pedal. Adjustable pedal models require the accelerator cable to be untied from both components that connect it to the plastic plunger and the arm itself. The electrical connector for the adjustable pedal motor needs to be disconnected if present at the top of the bracket. The four brake booster nuts need removal before installation at a torque of 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.). During reinstallation secure the two upper brake pedal bracket bolts at 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.). Finishing the installation involves first removing both the brake pedal assembly and bracket after which you should execute the steps in reverse order.
