2008 Ford Explorer Brake Booster Parts Q&A

• Q: How to service the vacuum brake booster on 2008 Ford Explorer?

  A: The service procedure for vacuum brake boosters starts with releasing air from the brake booster check valve before taking off the master cylinder since this prevents master cylinder seal intrusion into the brake booster. You should proceed with the removal of the brake master cylinder. You need to reattach the brake booster solenoid electrical connector during repairs since not connecting it will cause diagnostic trouble codes to appear while the vehicle operates or the key remains on. Change the booster push rod clevis locking pin because it serves only a single use and then discard this part. Disconnect and put aside the brake booster rod from its position in the brake pedal. During brake booster removal you should detach the four nuts before installing new nuts and tighten them to 22 Nm (16 lb-ft). The brake booster installation ends with performing the removed steps in reverse order.
