Ford Edge Brake Booster Removal
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2017
- In this video we show everyone how to remove the master cylinder and brake booster in a 2011 Ford Edge. This exact Ford Edge is a 2011 Ford Edge. The brake booster removal process is very similar across a lot of makes and models however, we suggest looking up specifics for your vehicle. We also recommend if you are not comfortable with this job, please seek professional help. This is a very serious job because you will also need to bleed all of your brake lines after completing the brake booster removal and the brake booster installation. The Ford Edge brake booster removal is not that hard, however it is fairly time consuming do to everything that needs to come off of the car to replace the brake booster, and master cylinder.

I just changed out the booster on my 2013 edge yesterday. Rather than removing the master cylinder, wipers, covers and computer I personally found it easer to remove the intake manifold cover and slide it over. Turn the booster with the rubber boot facing left towards the intake and it will come out. Took me about 2 hours and it was done. Saves a lot of time. Especially if you are not wanting to replace or bleed the master cylinder and remove all that hardware.
great advice man. If I have to do this job again this is the route I will take.
Manual says to remove the intake manifold. After removing the battery housing I was hoping there would be room to play around it. You mentioned cover so I guess the intake manifold itself is not necessary to remove?
If I had to do it again I will remove the manifold its faster that way. However you can do it this way if you want but intake manifold removal will cut down on a lot of time
@@six0bros I have done this job and it will be easier to just remove the intake manifold, customers should also consider spark plugs at this time if needed.
Since this video I have learned the better option is to remove the intake manifold and I agree I would do the plugs and coil pack at least the back ones at the same time
Guys, Thanks for this video! I would have gone to the dealer, but I didn't want them to have the car for a week, I managed to, after this video, put a new one in, in under 3 hours. Not bad, a little tricky doing it alone, but it's feasible. Thanks.
+Bill M great time on taking it out and in man!! We are glad the video helped. Feel free to ask us if you have questions about other videos.
Dont have to do any of that pop off trans shift cable and 3. 8mm bolts for the bracket turn booster so that rid is facing to drivers side comes right out
You saved me alot of time when I had to tackle my mother's daughters Ford edge booster.
Glad it helped man!
Wouldn't that be your sister?
Ok that made me laugh haha
@@Justin-gv2ce nope thats My sister's sister 😂 ,yeah my little sister and she's is the most selfish conniving person ive ever known. Unless of corse when that Edge is broke down.
Funny how when things break all of a sudden people act right lol
15:55 what's the purpose of removing the trim panel from below steering wheel? I've uninstalled and reinstalled brake booster without removing it. Curious.
Great video if you want to learn how to take stuff apart. But its a long process to get the brake booster out. The Haynes repair Manual just says to remove the battery and engine filter. Thanks for the video showing the other stuff, I'm sure it will come in handy.
You can remove the booster without removing the cowl. the master cylinder has flexible braided lines. bend th MC out of the way, pull the booster toward you then flip the inside part facing down and it will slip out.
From what I have learned since making this video is most take the intake manifold off and slide it out that way. I hope to not do this job again though lol
Thanks 👍🏽
Next time I will but I did watch your video first to get a idea on how to get started because I've never did before last week
+James Attaway I hope it helped at least a little. Still not fun. I prefer turbo upgrades and new tunes they are a lot more fun haha.
+James what parts did you not remove? I need to replace on my 2008.
I'm about to attempt this tomorrow. Just gonna try to remove less
Good luck. Take your time and you will be good.
its possible without removing nothing but the battery and intake air box. just swing the master cylinder to the right (section of braided line is flexible) and wiggle her out! this was a good job and more open but sooooo much more unnecessary work! thumbs up though.
So since this video I did find another way. I filmed it but haven't edited thr video yet. You can remove battery, I take and then I would recommend removing the intake manifold. And it comes out super easy from there. I tried wrestling it out without pulling the intake manifold but it was a no go. The intake manifold is only like an extra 15 minutes of work and then you don't beat on those flex lines. This method is vastly faster then what we did here.
And take the throttle body out way easier and faster than taking the wiper blade arms off and all of that also but great video guys
Learned about the intake manifold after from comments. Wish I knew it back then lol. Thanks man
The start of this video is hilarious btw
Lol thanks man. When we do dumb stuff we try to keep it in
It makes it more fun. Just put new pads and rotors on and had to disconnect the lines from my 07. Now the brake pedal is going to the floor and hissing at a constant when compressed. I can hear it affecting the air intake of the engine also. I'm guessing its the diaphram on the booster.
That is how this one was. Hope the video helps you man
Thank you!!!
Update: brake booster complete. Thanks again guys 👍🏽
Awesome. No problem man
Did u had any problems wit brake lights not turning off afterwards
Thanks for the video! Going to be attempting this repair on Friday! What size were the bolts holding in the booster to the firewall?
I am sorry I forget what size they are
13MM
Thanks man! Appreciate you helping out and answering. We really love when people come and help our viewers and subscribers out.
6.0 Bros thanks for the video! My husband and I were able to save $400 in labor by doing this job ourselves!
Glad this video helped you out. Comments like these are the best letting us know we helped someone.
I don't know how they do this at the dealer, but they say the intake manifold gasket gets replaced, so they must leave the cowling on and take the top end off.
I would ask them what all comes out. I honestly don't know that removing the intake would actually let them pull it out. That said I have been wrong before and will be wrong again lol.
Safety Police: Remove the battery ground wire first. Your wrench might turn into a sparkler if you connect the positive terminal to the body with it.
good catch and good advise.
My Ford edge 2013 is making a hissing sound. Is it the booster or master cylinder?
Most likely it is the brake booster. Make sure it isnt covered under warranty first though. There was an extended warranty sent out for the booster
So many lonely garages when car repairs are done under the light of the moon!
We do a lot of work at night lol
@@six0bros As long as your a DIY, no judgements! I'm the head DIY mechanic for 4 cars. I appreciate all vids! My sister-in-law in Md. just called me and she said her Edge brakes are hard to push in. Just wanted to see what the brake booster replacement involved. Gracious!
Anytime
Remove the upper intake manifold rather than removing all those other pieces. Could have had it done in about an hour. I did mine that way and even took the extra time to detail the engine bay and clean the inside of the throttle body and intake manifold and it still only took three hours.
thanks. a few people have now referenced doing it that way. I hopefully do not have to replace one anytime soon but if I do I will do trying that way instead.
its much easier to remove the intake manifold, had in done in an hour!
found this out after doing the job. it has become pretty well known now to do it that way.
Bueno video
Thank you!!
Just had this done on my wifes 2011 Edge by a local mechanic drove it home and had the powertrain light come on right away... RPM's are at 500 at an idle and when i took it on the highway it was all sorts of banged up...i.e when i attempted to accelerate shot up 2k -3k and didnt go above 40mph...also the break lights/high stop mount stayed on until i removed the fuse....bringing it back tomorrow...any thoughts on the bucket of s@*T that this has turned into
The mechanic fucked it all up
Man I'm sorry I didnt see this. Yea definitely that mechanic made a mistake. I have no idea what but definitely messed something up
The brake switch needs to be reset when you replace the booster. The pedal doesn't return to exactly the same place and can keep it on. These cars have an accelerator pedal position sensor mounted on the accelerator pedal. It's all one unit. If that got damaged or the connection loosened it could affect your acceleration. It's also possible the sensor lost its home idle position from the battery being disconnected. Likewise if a vacuum line was damaged or not properly reconnected you could have an issue there as well.
Did you have to reset any brake pedal sensor deal?
No I did not
You most likely will though. I replaced my wife's and the brake lights stay on sometimes. Recalibrating it this weekend.
By the way just got done doing the booster on my 2013 and all I had to do is remove the battery box and the air intake
I have an updated video on how to do it much faster than how I did here just haven't gotten to do editing process yet
I don't recall you stating what year your Ford Edge was , but you might have been able to have all the labor and parts done for free. Customer Satisfaction Program 13N02 ( brake booster failure and corroded fuel cell) is an extended warranty for 2010-2013 Ford Edge owners. Warranty is transfer from owner to owner and extends the original warranty to 10yrs and 150,00 miles. Just had mine replaced at the dealership, hassle free.
+Jerry Clemons they replaced it once already. We were told by the dealership we did not qualify for it anymore since they replaced it once already. However anyone watching or rearing this I hope you try the dealer first, but if you were in our boat I hope the video helps you fix the car
Wow, two booster on a 2011. That is not encouraging information. If that ends up being the case down the road with my girlfriends,I will refer back to your video. Hopefully not!
+Jerry Clemons thank you. Please like and subscribe and let us know if there is anything you would like to see in future videos.
+Jerry Clemons we tried 2 dealerships the warranty work was performed 3 years ago and the dealers said since it was performed once that the recall no longer was valid on the car. online I did find that even though we were within the mileage it is a once and done.
Thanks for the information, you probably just saved me $300. Planned on going to a local repair guy now its going to the dealership.
Never take the mass air flow sensor out just unplug it and take the whole intake out that way you won't damage the sensor
good advice!
This is great advice because stuff like this does happen
You may want to add in that the master cylinder and entire brake system will have to be bleed, for people doing this for their first time.
I do not know why I missed saying that. someone else made the same recommendation. If I ever have to do this again I will have a much better review of it.
Yall did it the hard way just loosen the intake move it to the side and the booster slides out with out taking the master off and doing all the extra work
Yeah since this video we have learned that the Ford techs do it how you described but at the time we had couldn't find anything on it
i got brake booster changed on ford edge 2011 last week and few facing issues since then.
1. cruise not working.
2. car loses accelation intermittently, remove the foot from throttle padel and press again, goes normal.
3. sometimes, brake lights getting on without pressing the brakes.
can you please suggest the solution for that? is it all related to booster job? has my mechanic not installed it properly?
appreciate your helping reply please. thanks
Unless they shorted something out they should be unrelated other than maybe he has something grounded that could be causing the brake lights to go on. I would ask the shop to look into that
As for the other issues I cannot think of anything other than checking the fuses for the cruise control and making sure everything is plugged in correctly around the gas pedal
2. Likely an air issue 3. Brake light switch $20
great job guys! I plan on doing this to my 2007 edge, did you guys have to bleed the lines after everything?
yes we did. it took a good while since we has to bleed everything from basically the whole system
6.0 Bros sweet! Thanks guys !!
Guys i hate to break it to you but i changed one in about 2 hours tops...yes on battery and battery box removal but instead of taking all the cowling off all I did was remove the plenum easy peasy
I hope this helps someone out. No need to hate to break it to us. I just hope people read this before doing the job and they pick doing that or the cowl removal whichever they feel more comfortable with. Thank you for the tip man!
How did u ended up getting it out
The parts that we removed and just gotta kind of move it around a little bit and it comes out.
@@six0bros ty I got it done ty for what yall do
That is awesome man. Thank you. Glad you got it done
I work at a Indy shop in Sacramento area and we get a couple of these a month rom the 2011s~ etc ford edges. Must be a manufacturing problem
It is definitely an issue. One thing to let people know is that if it is their first booster to go out that Ford most likely will cover the first replacement. My sister has a 2013 and hers went out 2 months ago and Ford took care of it.
She is the second owner so I would encourage people to contact Ford and have them run the vin
So, where’s the rest of the video…
That's it lol. Reverse the steps back. Unfortunately we did not have time to do the video going back together because of work and such. One piece of advice I have found out since this is if you take the I take manifold off you can get it out and it takes much less time
2:03 Step one: Open the hood. You're welcome
....this was super helpful. Thank you for filling in the holes of the video lol
Easier to just remove the throttle body, master cylinder then booster.
did you have luck doing it that way? I am all for an easier way than how we did it if someone has done it.
I did the same job on the same truck year model and all brake master cylinder and brake booster less than 2 hours without removing half the stuff that y'all remove
+James Attaway that's great man. Wish you had a video up it would have been helpful to us. If you ever need to do it again you should put one up. We are hopeful that the video helps people and shows them that you don't need to be a mechanic to do some of these things. Just checking though you said truck are you saying you did it on a truck or the edge? We are hopeful to not have to do it again. Hope you like the channel.
I am doing one tonight and I call BS. This is an Edge, not a truck. Trucks are a lot easier.
I didn't realize it said truck. Trucks are much different as far as having more room. As long as it helps though that is all we care about. Good luck man
Mark Tissiere l agree ain't no way you can do that job on a edge in 2 hrs!
@@buddyfoxhound2426 I've done a alot of these by taking the upper intake manifold and battery out and I can do one in 1 hour.
Was there a part 2 to this video? The installation?
Unfortunately no there isn't. We had time issues on it all and we were not able to.
Just did this to my 2013 Edge.
Woke up this morning and it was dead. I'm wondering if unplugging the computer has something to do with it. It was shifting funny also. Did you guys have this issue?
I do not recall any issues with shifting. However it was a couple of years ago so it is hard to remember.
Now unplugging shouldn't do anything to the booster and that shouldn't make the computer do a relearn on the transmission
hey man, dang. my names jarrod and my oldest brothers name is josh dang i never seen that
Thats funny man. Although we spell our names slightly different I'm Jared. How much older is he?
Rookies.. lol
While our first time taking a brake booster off an edge I'm not sure what makes us rookies here lol. Feel free to check out the channel and see how much work we actually do. Not mechanics but rookies seems a little bit of an exaggeration
Flip on the side to release push on her off to take my na

Hi.. when you finished this job, you should have filmed bleeding the brakes and linked that video. Keeps this one short but then you have the complete job on video. The brake bleeding is far more tricky than this bit. Also, could make the suggestion that at the end you could summarize by telling us all the stuff you removed but ended up not helping you (like the lower interior dash panel, except for the camera angles perhaps) and cowling. FWIW there's a guy in New Mexico that manged to remove the booster without removing anything extra or disconnecting the brake lines. He swung the master cylinder out of the way. Note that the FORD documents that if you bend those flex lines the interior will break. But, even removing the master cylinder, if you rotate the booster to point down as you remove it from the firewall you can maneuver it past the throttle body and out. A little counter intuitive, but the clearance problem from the bolts is worse than the diameter of the booster. Off to order this booster since mine squeals like crazy and the pedal is all sponge until near the end of travel. The dreaded "ripped diaphram" issue from the extended warranty. Don't trust the dealer to do it and with covid I'm 3 days past the "in service date"
Hope everything goes well. Yeah this video while helpful was pretty early in my channel I have learned a lot since this video as far as how to do better, but I agree with all if your tips. Hope the install goes well
well shit. n. This looks more involved then the master cylinder..... ugggg...
I am about to release a second video on this. As my sister's car failed amd needed a booster and master cylinder replacement. There is an easier way with pulling the ibtake manifold off.
ya'll like doing things the hard way no?
Lol no.... however some people have said it is easier to pull the intake manifold off
BOOT
?
@@six0bros it's a joke. I assumed you were in the military. LOL
Lol. No I was not. God bless every man and woman that serves our country. One of very few regrets as an adult.
Might be a better video IF you were not using a fish eye lens and arguing with your brother.
Get to the point.
Man intense lol. So I did change camera setting so this is no longer a problem. As for josh and me giving each other a hard time well we done make videos together as much as we use to but we will still mess with each other. At the end of the day it is still a decent video but has room for improvement and this was early in the channel.
Get on with the freaking video geesh 🙄🙄
No we cannot
Flashlight? Get an LED shoplite. Have your camera guy actually man the camera. Lay off the lite beer. Less BS narrative. Show the steps (you should have went with the half-hour version). Film more detail with less cutaways (plain lazy).
Lmao. It amazes me how keyboard warriors act. Instead of giving good feedback to improve the video, you feel the need to act like this. Anyway all of our videos have improved because this was a very early video. However to date this video has helped more people than any other video we have done. I imagine it helped you too. Now if you need more detail than we show here I would recommend taking it to a professional.
@@six0bros ... You guys replied to this asshat a lot classier than I would have. Kudos
Just got mine replaced… can we take a moment to acknowledge that engineers should be required to work in the automotive repair industry before they are allowed to design anything? What a nightmare of a job this was. If they would have moved that damn ABS block down 6in it would have been a breeze- not a 3 hour ordeal that had me questioning my sanity.
Lol I agree they should be required to work on the final design at least twice before saying we're good set into production. I am releasing another video where I replace one pulling the intake manifold and getting it out that way
