BRAKE BOOSTER

REMOVAL

1.
Working from inside the\ vehicle

below the instrument panel, disconnect

the booster push rod from the brake

pedal assembly. To do this, proceed as

follows:

Disconnect the stop light switch

wires at the connector. Remove the

hairpin retainer. Slide the stop light
switch off from the brake pedal pin

just far enough for the switch outer

hole to clear the pin, and then remove

the switch from the pin and booster

push rod. Be careful not to damage

the switch during removal. Slide the

booster push rod and the nylon wash-

ers and bushing off the brake pedal

pin (Figs. 29 thru 33).

2.
Open the hood and remove the

master cylinder from the booster. Se-

cure it to one side without disturbing

the hydraulic lines. It is not necessary

to disconnect the brake lines, but care

should be taken that the brake lines

are not deformed. Permanent defor-

mation of brake lines can lead to tube

failure.

3.
Disconnect the manifold vacuum

hose or hoses from the booster unit.

4.
Remove the booster-to-dash

panel attaching nuts or bolts (Figs. 29

thru 33). Remove the booster and

bracket assembly from the dash panel,

sliding the push rod link out from the

engine side of the dash panel.

5.
On Fairlane, Montego, and Fal-

con models, remove the push rod link

boot from the dash panel.

INSTALLATION

1.
On Fairlane, Montego and Fal-

con models, install the push rod link

boot in the hole in the dash panel as

shown in Fig. 23. Install the four

spacers on the mounting studs.

2.
Mount the booster and bracket

assembly to the dash panel by insert-

ing the push rod or push rod link in

through the hole and boot in the dash

panel. Install the bracket-to-dash

panel attaching lock nuts or bolts

(Figs.
29 thru 33).

3.
Connect the manifold vacuum

hose or hoses to the booster.

4.
Before installing the master cyl-

inder, check the distance from the

outer end of the booster assembly

push rod to master cylinder surface.

Turn the screw in or out to obtain the

specified length. Refer to Part 2-1,

Section 2, Power Brake Master Cylin-

der Push Rod Adjustment. Install the

master cylinder and torque the attach-

ing nuts to specifications.

5.
Working from inside the vehicle

below the instrument panel, connect

the booster push rod link to the brake

pedal assembly. To do this, proceed as

follows:

Install the inner nylon washer, the

booster push rod, and the bushing on

the brake pedal pin. Position the

switch so that it straddles the push

rod with the switch slot on the pedal

pin and the switch outer hole justprocarmanuals.com

the
transmission shift

rod
at the
shift tube.

8. Working under
the
hood, install

the aligning spacer (Fig.
9)
around
the

visible portion
of the
steering shaft

and slide
it up the
shaft into
the
steer-

ing column.
It may be
necessary
to

move
the
shaft back
and
forth
to
com-

pletely install
the
spacer.

At
this point
the
steering column

assembly, being loose,
may
have

dropped toward
the
steering gear

grounding
the
steering shaft
on the

steering gear input shaft.
To
properly

establish
the
steering shaft
to
steering

gear clearance, insert
a 1/8
diameter

rod
or
drill through
the
opening
in the

upper half
of the
flex coupling.

10.
Tighten
to a
snug
fit
(approxi-

mately
2-3
ft-lb)
the
nuts retaining
the

toe plates
to the
dash panel
(B in Fig.

8).

11.
If the
aligning spacer cannot
be

rotated freely,
the
dash panel holes

must
be
filed
or
reamed
for
greater

travel
(as
mentioned
in the
second

paragraph
at the
beginning
of
this

procedure).

12.
Tighten
all
nuts
and
bolts

(noted
as C, D and E in
Fig.
8) in the

passenger compartment
to a
snug
fit

(approximately 2-3 ft-lb). Again check

aligning spacer
for
looseness. Perform

these tightening operations
in
alpha-

betical order.

13.
Tighten
the
lateral adjustment

bolt
(F in Fig. 8) to
snug
fit.
Again

check
the
aligning spacer
for
loose-

ness.

14.
Tighten
all
bolts and nuts
to the

proper torque value (listed
in Fig. 8)

in alphabetical order.

15.
Remove
the
steering shaft
al-

igning spacer.

16.
Remove
the 1/8
diameter
rod or

drill previously inserted
in the
flex

coupling.

17.
Reinstall
the
trim
at the
instru-

ment panel
to
steering column mount-

ing.

DESCRIPTION

The roller-type hydraulic pump,

driven by the crankshaft, draws auto-

matic transmission fluid down the res-

ervoir and provides fluid pressure for

the system. Steering gear lubrication
is also provided by the same fluid

from the reservoir. Within the pump

itself is a flow-control and pressure-

relief valve which governs the pres-
sures within the steering system ac-

cording to the varying conditions of

operation. After fluid has passed from

the gear, it returns to the reservoir.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
