2006 Ford F-350 Super Duty Brake Booster Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service and repair the hydraulic brake booster on 2006 Ford F-350 Super Duty?

  A: The repairs and services for hydraulic brake boosters should begin by checking if the power brake booster cannot be transferred by the accumulator and dropping it should be avoided due to its high-pressure nitrogen gas content. When you get rid of the accumulator you need to create a 1.6 mm (0.06 inch) diameter vent in the end while wearing safety glasses. To start the process turn the engine off while you activate the brake pedal multiple times to empty the accumulator. Start by taking out both the primary battery along with the air cleaner housing. When reconnecting the brake booster hydraulic tube fittings secure them with 18 Nm (13 ft. lbs.) of torque. Apply pressure to the clamp until you extract the booster hydraulic tube then you will be able to remove the brake master cylinder. Process the brake pedal by first removing its cover and pin and next position both the brake pedal position switch and brake booster push rod off the brake pedal pin. During reinstallation torque the four brake booster-to-brake pedal bracket nuts to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.). The final step is to remove the brake booster while the new unit installation requires you to follow the removal procedures in reverse order by placing new O-ring seals on the brake booster hydraulic hose fittings followed by power steering system filling and brake system bleeding.
