2006 Lincoln LS Brake Booster Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the vacuum brake booster on 2006 Lincoln LS?

  A: The proper first step to service the vacuum brake booster is to remove the two nuts from the vapor management valve (VMV) and bracket assembly before setting them aside for reinstallation at 28 Nm (21 ft. lbs.). After removing the two windshield wiper pivot arms and two nuts start the reinstall by tightening down to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.). The washer hose needs detaching first before you remove the cowl panel grille by pulling out its pin-type retainers and rubber trim pieces. The installation requires removal of the seven bolts securing the strut tower support brace before setting the torque to 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.) when reinstalling. The technician should disconnect the degas bottle return hose before removing the two bolts from the bottle which they should set aside. Bottle reinstallation requires wrench torque to 15 Nm (11 ft. lbs.). Necessarily remove the brake master cylinder with extra care due to the potential need to disconnect the brake pedal travel switch electrical connector and the brake pedal force switch connector as well. Remove the brake booster vacuum hose from the vacuum check valve next to unfasten the four brake booster to brake pedal bracket nuts and dispose of these nuts before tightening them to 27 Nm (20 ft. lbs.). The brake pedal pin needs to be detached from the brake booster input shaft through self-locking clip removal followed by separating the booster rod from the brake pedal. After vehicle brake booster removal complete the reverse of installation steps.
