Q: How to service and repair the brake pedal assembly for manual transmission on Ford Explorer?
A: The first step for manual transmission brake pedal assembly servicing and repair requires the removal of the brake booster push rod while paying attention to the brake pedal return spring that forces upward pressure. You should keep the bushing and hairpin clip next to the stoplight switch before disassembly because they will be needed for reinstall. Begin the service by taking out the hairpin clip followed by unfastening the stoplight switch and brake booster push rod from the brake pedal pin before you uninstall the brake booster push rod bushing. As the next step disconnect the clutch master cylinder push rod together with the clutch pedal position switch (CPP). After rotating the clutch master cylinder 45 degrees clockwise you can take it out by first removing the bulkhead sound insulator along with its bolts. Before removing brake pedal assembly and nuts from the engine compartment it is essential to support both brake master cylinder and power brake booster structures. You should install new nuts for the brake pedal bracket during reinstallation and apply clockwise tension starting from the upper left-hand nut according to the removal order for proper installation.
Q: How to service and repair the brake pedal assembly on Ford Excursion?
A: The first step to service and repair the brake pedal assembly starts with removing the brake pedal motor that occurs in vehicles with adjustable pedals. Service the brake pedal assembly by starting with stoplight switch retaining pin removal for fixed pedal vehicles followed by pulling off the stoplight switch along with the booster push rod from the brake pedal pin. Follow this procedure for all vehicles by removing the brake pedal retention nuts and bracket from the assembly before positioning the boosters away so that pedal bracket removal becomes possible. The installation of new components should be done by following the steps in reverse order.
Q: How to service and repair the brake pedal assembly for both fixed automatic and manual transmission on Ford F-150?
A: Starting the brake pedal assembly repair and servicing process on manual as well as automatic transmission vehicles requires disconnecting the battery ground cable. Service the automatic transmission pedal by first removing the stoplight switch self-locking pin before sliding off the stoplight switch and booster push rod from the brake pedal pin. Begin by extracting the bulkhead sound insulator then unfasten the brake pedal bracket nuts from their position. Supporting the brake master cylinder and power brake booster (2005) in the engine compartment must be done before beginning brake pedal bucket bolt removal to detach both components from the brake pedal and bracket. The manual transmission requires separation of both the push rod from the clutch master cylinder and the Clutch Pedal Position Switch (CPP) before rotating the clutch master cylinder at 45 degrees clockwise for removal. The following steps must be completed before moving on: Uninstalling the stoplight switch self-locking pin enables the stoplight switch as well as booster push rod to slide off the brake pedal pin. Remove the bulkhead sound insulator followed by the two brake pedal bracket bolts and the brake pedal bracket nuts. Finish the installation by following the opposite sequence of both transmission removal steps.
