2007 Ford Explorer Brake Booster Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service the vacuum brake booster on 2007 Ford Explorer?

  A: Service of the vacuum brake booster begins by depleting the booster check valve with disconnecting the valve until all vacuum is cleared before uninstalling the master cylinder to avoid drawing seals into the brake booster. The brake master cylinder must be removed as the second step. The brake booster solenoid electrical connector must be unplugged in order to stop diagnostic trouble codes from being generated when the engine runs or the key is in use. Boot up the booster push rod clevis using a new locking pin since this specific part requires single-use and disposal of the old pin before adding a new one during reinstallation. The brake booster rod needs to be disconnected from its location on the brake pedal before placing it to the side. Use new nuts for the brake booster installation and secure them to 22 Nm (16 ft. lbs.) torque. Complete the installation of components following the opposite steps used during disassembly.
