2007 Ford Ranger Brake Master Cylinder Parts Q&A

• Q: How to remove and replace the brake master cylinder on 2007 Ford Ranger?

  A: Start the process of brake master cylinder replacement by disconnecting the ground cable of the battery. The second stage of replacement requires removal of the electric connection for the brake fluid level warning switch. Before taking out the master cylinder it is necessary to depressurize the brake booster vacuum because drawing the O-ring into the booster can result in a new brake booster installation requirement. You can release brake booster vacuum by taking out its check valve. The wiring retainer clip must be detached from the brake booster stud together with the removal of two brake tube fittings using brake master cylinder ports and tubes which need to stay plugged. Use 18 Nm torque when reinstalling the brake fittings. Tighten the two brake master cylinder nuts and the master cylinder to 18 Nm before redoing the procedure during installation to reach 18 Nm once more. The installation process requires a bleeding procedure of the master cylinder as its final step. Only DOT 3 approved brake fluid must be utilized since any other fluid will cause lasting damage to brake parts yet brake fluid might destroy painted and plastic materials so wipe off all spills right away with a water-based cleanser.
