2007 Ford Ranger Brake Booster Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the vacuum brake booster on 2007 Ford Ranger?

  A: Start the vacuum brake booster service and repair operations with brake master cylinder removal followed by vacuum hose separation from the brake booster check valve. The first safety step should be disconnecting the ground cable of the battery. It is necessary to uninstall the stoplamp switch before the speed control deactivator switch while securing the brake pedal onto the brake booster push rod at the at-rest position to avoid switch damage. The next step after taking the stoplamp switch off is to extract the speed control deactivator switch. Remove the bulkhead sound insulator after disconnecting the brake pedal and bracket from their connection with the brake booster push rod. Detach the brake booster first by taking out the four nuts followed by the booster unit itself. Tighten the new unit installation to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs). The installation of stoplamp switch and speed control deactivator switch must wait until brake booster and brake pedal and bracket achieve full installation along with brake pedal arm securing to brake booster push rod at the at-rest position. The installation process for switches should exclude any contact with the brake pedal to stop both incorrect positioning and damaging components. The reverse removal process should serve as the reinstallation procedure.
