2008 Ford E-250 Brake Master Cylinder Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service the Brake Master Cylinder with Hydro-Boost on 2008 Ford E-250?

  A: The first step in servicing Brake Master Cylinder with Hydro-Boost requires the use of fresh brake fluid with standard manufacturer specifications while keeping out prior drained fluid to maintain cleanliness. The warning flag applies because brake fluid will damage painted and plastic materials so immediate water cleaning must follow any spillages. You should start the service by using proper vacuum suction to empty the brake fluid reservoir. You should first remove the coolant reservoir bolts while setting the reservoir aside then reinstall it by tightening to 10 Nm (89 lb-in). First disconnect the power cable at the power distribution box then place the box aside before disconnecting electrical connectors of both the brake fluid level switch and speed control deactivator switch. For vehicles without roll stability control, tighten the brake tube fittings to 18 Nm (13 lb-ft) but increase this value to 28 Nm (21 lb-ft) when dealing with vehicles that have this system. Discard the brake master cylinder nuts when removing them from the power steering tube bracket since these nuts have torque-preventing features. The next steps require new nut installation followed by torque application to 23 Nm (17 lb-ft) before removing the power steering tube bracket along with the brake master cylinder. The service ends with reversing the removal procedures followed by brake system bleeding.
