2009 Ford Ranger Brake Master Cylinder Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to remove and replace the brake master cylinder on 2009 Ford Ranger?

  A: The first step of brake master cylinder removal starts with disconnecting the brake fluid level warning switch electric connection. Prior to master cylinder removal it is vital to reduce brake booster vacuum pressure so the O-ring will not enter the brake booster otherwise a new brake booster will need replacement when retrieval becomes impossible. You will relieve the brake booster vacuum by removing its check valve. The brake booster stud requires removal of its wiring retainer clip and then users must disconnect the brake tube fittings from their respective ports before plugging them and the brake master cylinder. Installation of brake fittings should reach a torque value of 18Nm (159 lb-in). First remove the two brake master cylinder nuts before taking out the brake master cylinder but reinstall both components to a torque specification of 18 Nm (159 lb-in). The procedure for master cylinder installation includes bleeder operation as the very final step. Use manufacturer-recommended brake fluid that remains clean and set aside painted or plastic areas when using such fluid since any spills need immediate cleansing with water.
