Most jobs are quicker, easier, & cheaper if the vehicle is CLEAN before starting. Water is safe to use on nearly everything because it's no different than driving in heavy rain. Just avoid oil seals & distributors. Some soap/surfactant (I use dilute Dawn & PurplePower) gets things even cleaner even quicker.

This rotor ('80-93 MotorCraft BRR8) has been mildly scored by excessive wear on the pad (Motorcraft BR41B). Although resurfacing or replacement is always preferred, this damage isn't severe enough to require it on a vehicle whose rotor is this difficult to remove/install.

Before buying craptasmic brakes or other common parts, check for coupons & service offers from Ford.

This rotor was allowed to wear completely through the inner surface, exposing the vent fins. The driver didn't notice until the caliper piston had hyperextended enough to leak fluid, resulting in NO pedal feel.

No, it's not on a Bronco. IIRC, it was an Escort, and yes, it was a girl driving.

These were found on a truck that was driven to a local repair shop for "poor brake performance". The owner had let the rear pads wear away, and the inboard backing plates had eaten away the rotors until they broke off the hats - a seriously poor design by Dodge. Then he kept driving until the rotors cut into the hats again almost until another section came off. One of them DID come off when the mess was removed from the axle.

If the rotors (BRR56 / BRR207) are heavily scored or lipped, it will be necessary to compress the caliper with a prybar before swinging the caliper & pads off the rotor.

Always photograph or manually copy this style of axle tag before it becomes illegible. There is no other ID information on axles with this style of tag, so if this tag is obliterated, there's nothing left to look up parts from. Read the TSB in this caption:

Caliper Piston Compression Tool

Before new pads can be installed over a new rotor, the caliper must be fully compressed to make space.

If a front brake line must be opened (as for replacement), leave this step for last. Compressing the caliper will reverse-bleed the line, as long as the caliper is compressed in its normal upright position, with the brake line connection at the top.

5-Screw Automatic Hub Lock Exploded
IF THE IMAGE IS TOO SMALL, click it.
3B459 - E5TZ1198A

There should never be a need to disassemble the hub lock body to this degree, unless it has been severely neglected or abused. DO NOT pack the lock with grease - a light coat is enough; any more will jam the mechanism. The correct way to clean & lube an auto hub lock is to dunk it in ATF each time the wheel bearings are serviced (which should be FREQUENTLY if the truck is used off-road; or every 30Kmi if it's not).

The inner & outer wheel bearing adjusting nuts are not shown, but the outer (without pin) goes outboard of the perforated locking washer (3B459), which goes against the inner (with pin pointing out). If the pin is pushed into the nut, use a drift to push it back out.

This lock was rusty & didn't fully engage, when I was able to force it to move. So I stripped it down, soaked all the parts in kerosene for a while, and then wire-brushed each one so I could figure out how it works, and if it was repairable. Turns out there's virtually no damage under the rust & grime that I removed, so I'm putting this one in my truck.
IF THE IMAGE IS TOO SMALL, click it.

UPDATE 5/31/16: It has been working reliably for over a year now, including frequent off-roading, pushing trees down, and even knocking a few stumps out of the ground.

Disassembly:
1) After removing the lock body assembly from the hub, wipe the grease off. Rinse in solvent (kerosene, mineral spirits, or parts cleaner) to remove as much residue as possible.
2) From the inboard end, use external snap ring pliers to expand the stator ring and push the sleeve through the body assembly. Tilt the stator assembly and lift the clutch spring tips out of the cam brake slot.
3) Remove the clutch spring cover, clutch spring, & spacer from the stator.
4) Use a pick to lift one end of the cam ring out of its groove, and work the ring out of the body.
5) Lift the cam lip opposite the brake slot, then lift the cam over the brake and out of the body.
6) Work the brake's tabs out of the body grooves, and lift out the brake.
7) Dump the sleeve assembly out of the lock body.
8 ) From the outboard end, compress the cup washer, pry out the spring ring, and remove the unlock spring from the sleeve. Remove its cup.
9) Push the stop ring out of the sleeve's groove, and remove it between the lock spring's coils.
10) Slide the sleeve out of the follower & gear.
11)Pry one of the follower's tangs over the lip of the gear, then the other, and allow the lock spring to separate them.

Clean all parts thoroughly, wire-brushing as needed to remove hardened grease, dirt, & rust scale. Wash in solvent, allow to dry, then apply a thin coat of disk-brake-rated (NOT marine) wheel bearing grease using a brush or by working mating parts together. Smooth & spread the grease by hand, and remove any excess. Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, but it may be necessary to install the unlock spring last so the lock body can be held in the hub. For final lubrication & any subsequent light cleaning, submerge the lock body assembly in ATF every 30Kmi.

This greasy, dirty dust cap soaked in kerosene for about an hour, and then was nylon-brushed to get as clean as it is on the Left. A few seconds with some fine steel wool produced the result on the Right. It's equally-effective on bumpers, door handles, lock cylinders, antennae, and almost any other chrome or polished stainless (not bare Aluminum) surface. Stainless steel wool is preferred because common steel wool can cause rust-staining later.

This tiny "seal bridge" clip holds the flat rubber seal up between the cap & hub. It's often discarded or lost by careless mechanics & owners, creating a leak path that contaminates the hub, making them THINK there's some mystical design fault in the auto lock when the blame really goes to the monkey with the wrench.

After removing the bridge clip, compress the lock body retaining ring on 5-screw auto lock, then remove the lock body & the ring together.

If the lock body wiggles, but won't slide out of the hub, it may be that the hub snout is deformed (from collision or a previous grease-monkey with a BFH). It may help to spin the hub/rotor (caliper & pads removed) fast enough to locate the eccentricities of the snout, and gently hammer it back into shape to allow the lock body to slide out. This condition is much more common with early & aftermarket manual hub locks than with autos because autos fill the snout better, providing structural rigidity.

The hub locks & their dust caps (including the dials for manual locks) do not support any weight or retain any parts. They can be R&I'ed with the truck's full weight on the wheel.

If necessary, the truck can be driven this way indefinitely, but dust & water will contaminate the wheel bearing grease if it's not taped up, or covered with plastic & a rubber band. Consider braking temperatures when choosing materials.

5-Screw Automatic Hub Locks

The 3 parts labelled 3B458 are the shim washers. The outer is splined steel; the middle is fiber/plastic; the inner is smooth steel. Install three washers in order: metal washer first, plastic washer second and splined washer last. They bear the stub shaft's thrust load (caused by the C-ring), and keep it fully OUTboard so the U-joint stays aligned between the ball joints, and so the outboard small snap ring used on manual hub locks can be installed. Early axles had a single solid steel splined spacer instead of these 3.

3-screw Warn Automatic Hub Locks (F6TZ-1K105-AA)

The 2 items at the far L are one complete hub lock assembly piled together. The top center is the hub lock body. Bottom center is the cap with 3 screw holes. Top R are the friction ring & large (outer) C-ring (which retains the lock body in the hub). Lower R (upper row) are: the 2.5-inch single wheel bearing adjusting hex-nut; the adjusting nut lock clip; the steel splined thrust washer; (lower row) the small (inner) C-ring (which retains the axle stub shaft in the spindle); the plastic thrust washer; and the steel thrust washer. Refer to this:


There should never be a need to disassemble the hub lock body any more than this, unless it has been severely neglected or abused. DO NOT pack the lock with grease - a light coat is enough; any more will jam the mechanism. The correct way to clean & lube an auto hub lock is to dunk it in ATF each time the wheel bearings are serviced (which should be FREQUENTLY if the truck is used off-road; or every 30Kmi if it's not).

Auto Hub Locks SUCK!!! . . . . ...right?
IF THE IMAGE IS TOO SMALL, click it.

As bad as this looks, and despite the fact that it isn't working at the moment, there's nothing wrong with this 3-screw auto hub lock that can't be fixed with cleaning. And considering that this much water got past the 3 screws & wide O-ring of this cap, even more would have gotten in through the 5~6 screws, thin cap O-ring, and knob O-ring of a manual lock. It would also have done more rust-damage to those thinner springs. So manual hub locks are more-sensitive to neglect than autos. The only reason they seem to last longer is that they tend to be installed on trucks that need more hub maintenance anyway, so manuals get serviced more. But manual hub locks CAN & DO fail like this, and in even-worse ways.

After cleaning, this lock works perfectly. If it had been serviced the way Warn (the manufacturer) & Ford recommend (dunking in ATF twice a year), it never would have gotten this bad.

This lock was grimy, so I stripped it down (which required filing away some staked metal), soaked all the parts in naphtha for a while, and then scrub-brushed each one so I could figure out how it works, and if it was repairable. Turns out there's virtually no damage under the grime that I removed, like nearly all other 3-screw autos I've collected.
IF THE IMAGE IS TOO SMALL, click it.

Disassembly:
1) After removing the lock body assembly from the hub, wipe the grease off. Rinse in solvent (naphtha, kerosene, mineral spirits, or parts cleaner) to remove as much residue as possible.
2) Remove the cam assembly from the hub; wipe & rinse it similarly.
3) Rotate the ramp until its slots align with the step so it comes out.
4) Gently compress the garter, extract it from the step, and separate the garter spring so all the cam pieces can be washed in solvent & scrubbed. FURTHER DISASSEMBLY IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
5) While submerged in solvent, rotate the drive spline & follower in the body until they align so the follower can be compressed against the wave springs, flushing solvent out of & into the lock body assembly until it flows out relatively clean.

Clean all parts thoroughly, scrub-brushing as needed to remove hardened grease, dirt, & rust scale. Wash in solvent, allow to dry, then apply a thin coat of disk-brake-rated (NOT marine) wheel bearing grease using a brush or by working mating parts together. Smooth & spread the grease by hand, and remove any excess. For final lubrication & any subsequent light cleaning, submerge the lock body assembly in ATF every 30Kmi.

Wheel bearing adjusting nut (2.5-inch rounded hex) for 3-screw auto hub locks only. This nut requires so little torque to install that it can usually be removed with a screwdriver by hand. But the locking clip that slips into the inner grooves in the threads MUST be removed first.

This is the INBOARD surface of the nut, which faces the wheel bearing.

If a tool is needed, the correct one is a 2-1/2" rounded hex socket like PTW83244, Lisle 33160, OTC 6795, KD 3455, Mac WBS7795, Ford/Rotunda 205348, Lang 1244, OEM 25243, KTI 71924, or CTA 4180B.

3-screw Warn Automatic Hub Locks (F6TZ-1K105-AA)

Regarding part #3: I think the double-lip faces INboard (toward the diff) so that if pressure is higher OUTside the hub (deep water), the double-lip will expand slightly, forming a tighter seal against the axleshaft & spindle bearing race.

But that's just a guess.

Before the small outboard snap ring (18 in this diagram) can be installed, the stub shaft must be pushed fully outboard against the inner spindle seal by reaching behind the steering knuckle to the u-joint.

This diagram shows a common manual hub lock.

Ford 8.8" axle uses 10 lug studs D6AZ-1107-A ('83-00)
Dana 44IFS uses 10 lug studs D6TZ-1107-A ('83-96)

Note that, to make the drawing easier, the axle tube (bright green) is shown inclined. But in actuality, it is perfectly horizontal, and the spindle (olive green) & outer stub shaft (red) are angled slightly down.

The axis of the ball joints (through the centers of the balls; not necessarily along their shafts) must pass through the center of the U-joint whenever the U-joint is rotating. That's why the location of the outer stub shaft (red) is critical, and the snap ring must be installed outboard of the spindle.

You don't have to spend $130/pr on Warn Premium hub locks to get a lifetime warranty. And the Warns are no stronger than MileMarkers. ***SEE BELOW*** I've put ~100Kmi on these off-roading in mud/sand/rocks, and even towing another truck on the highway in FWD when my rear d'shaft was out. The only reason I changed them out today was that the knobs were starting to wear out. Hub locks (other than '87-88 flange-style) can be changed with the front wheels on the ground as normal, and the truck is even safe to drive with the locks removed, but the wheel bearings will lose grease & become contaminated.

The big red NOTICE sticker says not to add ANY grease to the locks - just make sure the wheel bearings are lubed & adjusted properly. Packing the hub lock with grease will prevent it from working.

***After breaking 3 sets of these in quick succession, I've changed my mind about their strength. I returned these for credit, and I'm now running factory 5-screw auto locks.***

To make removal easier, bend the tips of the ring inward slightly. Don't bend them so much that they hit the hub lock, preventing their removal. Another option is to grind the tips at an angle so it's easier for a tool to get under the ring inside the groove.

These use 3 washers (15,16,17) between the C-clip & the spindle to hold the axle stub in place. The previous design used a single thick splined shim. Before that, an outside snap-ring was used at the outer end of the axle stub. In both cases, before the small outboard snap ring (18 in this diagram) can be installed, the stub shaft must be pushed fully outboard against the inner spindle seal by reaching behind the steering knuckle to the u-joint.

Regarding part #2: I think the double-lip faces INboard (toward the diff) so that if pressure is higher OUTside the hub (deep water), the double-lip will expand slightly, forming a tighter seal against the axleshaft & spindle bearing race. But that's just a guess.

Flange-style manual hub locks used only on '87-early '88 F150s & Broncos w/manual locks. '87-88 w/auto locks are "normal".
IF THE IMAGE IS TOO SMALL, click it.

These are similar to those used on Bronco IIs & Explorers, but larger (5 on 5.5"). AKA "tophat" hub locks.

Axles with these hub locks use special 1-piece hub/rotors, and special short spindles.

TSB 88-08-17 Warn Hub Locks Inoperative

Publication Date: APRIL 15, 1988

LIGHT TRUCK: 1987-88 F-150, BRONCO

ISSUE: Inoperative front drive axle hublocks on 1987 and 1988 F-150 and Bronco vehicles may be caused by the control dial getting too hot and distorting. The hublock body is made of aluminum which transfers heat rapidly from the brake rotor to the hublock assembly. Under certain braking conditions such as brake dragging or downhill trailer towing control dial distortion may occur. Vehicles operated under these or similar conditions may not experience hublock control dial distortion but may be too hot for customers to engage or disengage the locking hub feature.

ACTION: To correct this, install a new hublock service kit that will not allow heat transfer to the control dial. Refer to the 1987/88 Light Truck Shop Manual, Volume A, Section 11-12-2 for removal of the existing hublocks. Use the 1986 Light Truck Shop Manual to install the new hublock kit, (E7TZ-1L104-A).

4WABS Rotor Removal
IF THE IMAGE IS TOO SMALL, click it.

If the rotor must be replaced on a '93-96 Bronco (4WABS) hub, the tone ring often causes problems because it's not easy to pull with a 3-jaw puller, and replacements are not available new. But by using a simple frame (I have this steel ring, but a triangle of 2x10" lumber is just as effective) to support the rotor above a wood pad on a concrete slab, the tone ring comes off fairly easily & quickly.
1) Hammer the studs loose, but don't damage the tone ring; then free the rotor from the hub (since the rotor is being replaced, hammering the rotor face is OK;
2) Place the rotor (hub-down) onto the frame on top of the wood pad;
3) The loose hub's weight holds the tone ring against the backs of the studs, which are against the rotor, which is on the frame on the board; holding the frame & rotor together, lift them off the pad and slam them down sharply, flat onto the pad
4) The impact will pull the hub down through the tone ring;
5) A few hard hits should be enough to separate the ring from the hub;
6) All 8 pieces are loose now, but the 5 studs are resting in the rotor;
7) The rotor holes are larger, so the lug studs' splines don't engage it - they fall out easily;
8 ) The hub can now be cleaned (especially the machined surfaces that the rotor & wheel mount against) and painted (if desired).

6. Install the appropriate inner wheel seal ('80-94 C9TZ-1S175-C).
7. Flip the assembly & apply a heavy ring of grease to the area between the bearing races in the hub.
8. Slip the hub onto the spindle ('93-96 F3TZ-3105-D), keeping as much grease as possible inside.
9. Fill as much of the hub as possible with grease, up to the outer wheel bearing race.
10. Slip the packed outer bearing (DV6Z-4221-A) onto the spindle, centering the hub around it so it goes in all the way.
11. Leaving any excess grease in place, install the wheel bearing adjusting nut(s) according to the appropriate procedure.
12. Fill the area between the nut(s) & hub wall with grease, NOT to extend outboard of the nuts.
13. Install any necessary hardware & the hub locks.
14. Install the wheel, using a torque wrench or torque-limiter as described in the TSB below. Re-check torque after 200-500 miles.

Using this seal & bearing driver is one way to remove the '93-96 Bronco-only 4WABS tone ring. Another way is: after hammering the lugs out (but not so far as to damage the tone ring), drop the rotor onto a wood support tall enough to allow the hub to slide down and out of the tone ring. DO NOT allow the thin outer lip of the hub to impact any hard surface. Pad the pavement with plywood or several layers of cardboard.

Front ABS Sensors Motorcraft BRAB30 on '93-96 Broncos only. Clean all metal filings off to improve signal quality.

To remove the spindle, remove the sensor bolt (6-point 8mm-5/16") and the shield bolt (12-point 6mm, but a 12-point 7/32" can be hammered onto it) from inside the steering knuckle. Once the spindle is off, drive the sensor inboard HAMMERING ONLY on the tube around the bolt. Clean both sensor bores thoroughly with a steel bore brush, and clean the sensor & its bolt tube. Apply anti-seize lube to both bores before reinstalling the sensor, and to the spindle bore of the steering knuckle.

Whether the spindle was removed or not; clean its sealing surfaces thoroughly.

The bolt for this shield has an extremely hard-to-find 6mm 12-point head, so most people (including me) don't carry a socket to fit it. Since I've abandoned my idea to add 4WABS TC to my truck, I didn't need the sensor or the shield, so I just knocked it off with a hammer. If I need to reinstall it, I'll use a bolt with a 6-point head.

Turns out a more-common 12-point 7/32" socket can be hammered onto this bolt head.

Spindle Differences '80-96

In addition to the ~'92 loss of a spindle stud (leaving 5) and the addition of 2 notches in the spindle flange (Bronco only) for the 4WABS sensor used on '93-96 Broncos only, the spindle was also redesigned in ~'95 to match the revised 2-piece inner wheel seal. F150 spindle flanges were never notched or drilled for the 4WABS sensor, but are otherwise identical to the corresponding Bronco's.

I suspect the slot was lengthened around '86 for the self-locking spindle nut, but I haven't confirmed that.

'87-early '88 spindles for manual (top-hat flange-style) hub locks are significantly shorter overall, take a 1-piece hub/rotor, and have 6 stud holes.



To remove stuck spindles with a slide hammer, use one of these:
OTC 4543-6 or 7502
Liisle 22200
KD 3910
To prevent them from sticking again, clean ALL the rust from the bores & stickouts, and apply anti-seize lube.

Wheel Bearings Dry
Packing the hub with grease will prevent this, even when fording deep water.

2-piece Inner Wheel Seal (Rolling Diaphragm Seal) used on ~5/95~96 1/2-ton 4WDs.

The pair is MotorCraft BRS23 or F5TZ-1S190-AA. The original-design rubber seal is MotorCraft BRS78; the revised rubber seal is BRS86; the steel seal is MotorCraft BRS85
#6&7 in this diagram:


ERROR: It was NOT used on '93-94s, and can't be used on them without changing the spindle AND hub.

The black seal slips onto the spindle. The side visible in this pic goes OUTboard against the smooth surface of the metal seal; the smaller ring slips over the spindle's base shoulder. APPLY GREASE to the larger lip or the wheel will squeak. Either wheel bearing grease, or silicone grease (preferred), or PTFE (teflon).

Before installing the inner wheel seal, add a ring of grease to keep the bearing full. This is correct disk-brake-rated high-temperature EP grease.

Take a few extra moments to remove any accumuated grime and then brush the sealing surface so the new seal will last.

Note that this steering knuckle & shield (Left F4TZ-2K005-B, Right F4TZ-2K004-B) are specific to the '94-up floating caliper design, as indicated by the caliper bolt ear at the far R. Caliper bolt torque 30-36 N-m (22-27 lb-ft). Also note the spindle is NOT designed for the upgraded double-lip seal introduced 5/95.

It's worth the effort to clean off any accumulated grime, particularly from the base of the spindle where the inner wheel seal fits.

While the rotor is off the hub, make sure both sides of the flange are thoroughly clean & flat to prevent warping the rotors. It doesn't take much to ruin them.



For drums, only the outboard surface needs to be cleaned. But both sides of the drum must be cleaned.

Pack bearings, then fill void between bearings with Castrol Pyroplex Blue, Mystick, or some other high-film-strength EP grease rated for disk brakes; NOT cheap grease as shown. Any air in this area will contract during deep fording, causing water to be sucked past the seals into the grease & bearings. Filling with grease prevents this.

.

DO NOT FILL THE HUB LOCKS. They need air space inside for their mechanisms to move, so they should only have a light coat of grease. Most modern hub locks should be merely dunked in ATF before installation. Read their included instructions.

Wheel Bearing Nut adjustments. The L pane is the common 3-piece system, which requires either of these spanners:



The R pane is the rare 1-piece self-locking nut:



The text below describes the later hex nut.

For '94-96 with the single large hex nut (3-screw auto hub lock caps OR any manual hub locks), follow this procedure:

While rotating front disc brake hub and rotor, tighten until snug to seat wheel bearings. Back nut off 90 degrees (1/4 Turn). Tighten to 1.8 N-m (16 Lb-In), insert locking key, thrust washers, and C-clip. Refer to these:

The L spanner is stronger & less likely to slip off a nut, but it won't work on a self-locking nut. Later auto hub locks use a 2-3/8" rounded hex socket.

Rare self-locking hub nut used in the late '80s. Its locking tooth in the center often gets bent inward by improper installation or removal. Make sure it protrudes enough to fully engage the slot on the spindle. If not, it will work its way loose.

When installing or removing this nut, make sure the outer cage does NOT spin; the tooth in the center must remain in the spindle's groove.

This explains how to re-install it:

This '95 Bronco was factory-equipped with 3-screw auto hub locks, but a previous owner swapped in these light-duty Warn manuals. The current owner thought the wheel bearings were going bad, but I found the nut key had fallen out of place, fouling into the rotating hub lock body, and allowing the bearing adjusting nut to back off. I temporarily straightened the key & reinstalled it (after changing the bearings & rotor anyway), but he ordered the older-style nuts & installed them himself later.

ISSUE: The use of petroleum-based grease as a lubricant in servicing disc brakes is no longer acceptable because it may be incompatible with the rubber material used in the disc brake system. If petroleum-based grease is used to lubricate any part of the disc brake system, it could cause rubber parts to swell if lubricant contacts the rubber material.

ACTION: Refer to the following Servicing Procedures for details.

DISC BRAKE SERVICING
CAUTION: DO NOT USE PETROLEUM-BASED SERVICE GREASE (SUCH AS FORD DISC BRAKE CALIPER SLIDE GREASE D7AZ-19590-A) TO LUBRICATE DISC BRAKE CALIPER SLIDE PINS OR RUBBER DUST BOOTS. PETROLEUM-BASED GREASE MAY CAUSE EPDM RUBBER TO SWELL.

When servicing any disc brakes, lubricate necessary components by applying Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound (D7AZ-19A331-A (Motorcraft WA-10)) or an equivalent silicone compound meeting Ford Specification ESE-M1C171-A. Refer to the appropriate Service Manual for specific service details.

DRUM BRAKE SERVICING

Always clean the surfaces that touch the pad backing plates (& all other points of metal-to-metal contact) before applying brake grease to them. Of course, the caliper & pad SLIDES are far more-critical than the spot where the brush is in this photo, but it's hard to do much with 1 hand working the camera. Drum brakes need even more cleaning.

Brake Greases

After cleaning...

.

...apply a light coat of brake grease to each point of contact. DO NOT apply grease to the friction material of the pads or shoes, or to the nuts/bolts/threads.



For front brakes, these are ALL on the caliper:
- where it touches each pad
- where it slides against the steering knuckle
- any slide pins or keys & keyways.

For rear brakes, it's more complicated & precise:
- on every point that the steel frame of the shoe touches the backing plate or anything else (but NOT on the friction material or drum)
- inside the autoadjuster and in each end
- where the autoadjuster cable touches the guide
- on the e-brake lever & its pivot pin
- on the equalizer bar where the spring & guide slide
- on the pushrods inside the dust boots where they touch the slave cylinder's pistons.



The CRC grease is the only one that's NOT silicone. It can be purchased in many colors so that shops can tell if they were the last ones to work on your brakes. I buy black for personal use.

Before buying craptasmic brakes or other common parts, check for coupons & service offers from Ford.

After cleaning to the bare metal, brake grease goes at each white pointer, including inside each slide pin boot. DO NOT apply grease to any location in a quantity that could contaminate the friction surfaces. A thin film is sufficient.

Line ports are 1/2-20 and 7/16-24 inverted flare.

Reverse-Bleeding Procedure (for air ONLY in the MC, HCU, & lines):
(Note that the entire system can be reverse-bled without opening any slave bleed valves, provided all their fluid ports are oriented to the top.)
1) Remove the cap from the reservoir.
2) Compress the RHR wheel cylinder fully by flipping one rubber boot forward and stabbing a flat screwdriver against the face of the piston beside the pushrod (catching any fluid that spills out of the reservoir); then allow it to slowly extend, making sure the pushrods remain properly-seated in the pistons & shoes. Repeat for the LHR.
3) Compress the RHF caliper piston fully, then the LHF, using a prybar between the outer pad & rotor.
4) Use a squeeze bulb to remove as much fluid as possible from the reservoir, and refill with fresh fluid from a sealed container.
5) Pump up the pedal (keeping fluid in the reservoir) & check for normal pedal feel with the engine idling. If air is still suspected in the system, use the following procedure...

Reverse-Bleeding Procedure for air in the wheel cylinders (as opposed to air only in the lines):
1) Remove the cap from the reservoir & fill it TO THE TOP with fresh fluid from a sealed container.
2) Then remove the pushrods from the RHR slave so the pistons can FULLY extend, drawing as much fluid as possible inside. If necessary, gently press the pedal to force the pistons out.
3) Open the bleeder & let out as much air as possible; then close the bleeder. Top up the reservoir & repeat for the LHR slave.
4) Replace the pushrods so the shoes & springs fully compress the slaves, driving air back to the reservoir. Prepare for fluid to spill out - keep it off the paint.
5) Pull the calipers off, remove the outboard pads, and put the calipers back in-place on the rotors.
6) Pump the pedal to fill them (the rotors SHOULD keep the pistons from shooting out, but check frequently and DON'T shoot the piston out of the caliper), top up the reservoir, and gravity-bleed them through the bleeders.
7) Use a squeeze bulb to remove as much fluid as possible from the reservoir, and fully compress the R caliper, then the L, then reassemble the pads properly.
8 ) Use a squeeze bulb to remove as much fluid as possible from the reservoir, and refill with fresh fluid from a sealed container.
9) Pump up the pedal (keeping fluid in the reservoir) & check for normal pedal feel with the engine idling.

Brake Fluid Reservoir Washing
IF THE IMAGE IS TOO SMALL, click it.

After the brake fluid has been neglected (it should be changed every 3 years, or with each brake service), the sediment in the reservoir makes seeing the actual level difficult. Fortunately, it's fairly easy to remove the reservoir & wash it out.

'87-96 Brake Master Cylinder Reservoir

There's no good way to clean these reservoirs in-place, and even removing them doesn't make it much easier, but it does prevent the washout from going into the MC.

The plastic pliers are the least-likely method to break the reservoir, but it can still happen if the plastic is foggy. Removing the reed switch isn't really necessary unless it's bad, but this one is OK. The hardest thing to remove is the float, but I wanted to be sure there were no rust particles on the magnet, and no sediment under it - there was neither.

After bending an old toothbrush to scrub the inside with hot water & Purple Power, I drilled the rear baffles to make changing the fluid easier, blasted it out with brake cleaner & let everything dry. I put a thin coat of silicone grease (SilGlide) on the grommets to make future removal easier, and then reinstalled it.

Note that this master cylinder is built withOUT a SCCDS port, indicating that it did NOT come from a '94-04 truck with cruise.

Crossdrilled&Slotted.jpg | Hits: 5569 | Size: 8.08 KB | Posted on: 1/13/06 | Link to this image


Cross-drilling is only for looks. On race cars, it reduces weight, but on trucks, it only makes the brakes run hotter because it removes thermal mass. Slotting was originally done to release gasses generated by organic lining material, but modern pads are cured of these gasses during manufacture, so slotting is also unnecessary. For more info, consult the Wilwood FAQ. If the link doesn't work, here's what it says:

"Why are some rotors drilled or slotted?
Rotors are drilled to reduce rotating weight, an issue near and dear to racers searching for ways to minimize unsprung weight. Drilling diminishes a rotor's durability and cooling capacity.
Slots or grooves in rotor faces are partly a carryover from the days of asbestos pads. Asbestos and other organic pads were prone to "glazing" and the slots tended to help "scrape or de-glaze" them. Drilling and slotting rotors has become popular in street applications for their pure aesthetic value."

Here's a more-thorough article:

Brake Booster Cutaway.jpg | Hits: 10124 | Size: 53.14 KB | Posted on: 1/13/06 | Link to this image


Booster Operation

Under normal driving conditions, the engine's intake manifold vacuum passes to both sides of the brake booster diaphragm via the large vacuum hose & plastic right-angle check valve in the front of the booster. It stops at the rear (in-cab) vent valve (vacuum bleed port) which is closed when the pedal is not applied. Since pressure is equal within the booster's steel housing, there is no force applied to the diaphragm or pushrod.

When the pedal is first applied, the equalizer valve (between the 2 sides of the diaphragm) closes, maintaining engine vacuum on the front of the diaphragm, but blocking off the vacuum supply to the rear. Whatever vacuum pressure is behind the diaphragm remains until the pedal moves farther. As the pedal continues to move forward, the vacuum bleed port begins to open, allowing atmospheric pressure to enter the rear chamber. Since the front chamber is still under vacuum, a force develops across the diaphragm, which is applied to the pushrod, assisting the operator in pushing against the master cylinder piston.

The vacuum bleed port allows only the required amount of atmospheric pressure into the booster chamber. This is determined by the force applied to the brake pedal by the driver. The harder the driver applies the brake, the more atmospheric pressure allowed into the booster chamber, and the greater the vacuum boost. Once the level of boost corresponds to the force applied to the brake pedal the bleed port on the pushrod closes, thus maintaining the level of vacuum in the chamber.

When the pedal stops, both valves close, holding the last pressure differential in the booster, allowing the operator to maintain high brake pressure with little effort.

When the pedal is moved rearward, the pushrod moves back, opening the vacuum port to the rear chamber, which evacuates the air & moves the diaphragm, pushrod, pedal, & master cylinder piston back to lower the brake pressure.

When the pedal is fully released, the equalized vacuum in both chambers allows the return spring to force the pushrod away from the master cylinder piston, and the pedal to the full up position.

Booster Installation

The booster can be changed without opening any hydraulic lines. Remove the master cylinder nuts, pull the MC away & lay it to the side, remove the booster nuts & pushrod under the dash, unhook its vacuum line, and pull it out.

The stoplamp switch is commonly abbreviated BOO (Brake On-Off). The later style switch is call BPP (Brake Pedal Position), but that term is sometimes also applied to this older style.

IF THE IMAGE IS TOO SMALL, click it.



Chock the front tires, support the axle, remove the wheel and drum.

Disassembly by hand (except step 10):
1) pull the autoadjuster lever (2A176) away from the screw (2041) and turn the wheel to fully retract the screw into the nut (2047).
2) Pull the front shoe (2200) away from the autoadjuster assembly (2048-2047) and remove the assembly.
3) Push the shoes (2200) together and remove the lever (2A176) from the rear shoe (2200).
4) Disconnect the cable (2A178 ) and spring (2296/2049) from the lever (2A176), and remove the spring (2296/2049) from the front shoe (2200). Remove the cable from the anchor pin (part of 2211).
5) Reach behind the FRONT of the plate (2211) and hold the pin (2069) while compressing & rotating the retainer (part of 2068 ) on the FORWARD shoe (less friction material). Remove the spring & retainers (2068 ), & pin (2069).
6) Pull the forward shoe (2200) away from the plate (2A176) and swing it up & away from the plate to relax & remove the return spring (2296/2035).
7) Remove the link bar assembly (2A642/2A601/2A787).
8 ) Remove the rear shoe retainer as in step 5, and its return spring as in step 6. Remove the cable guide (2A179). Remove the anchor guide plate (2028 ).
9) Compress its spring (not shown) and slide the e-brake cable ferrule (not shown) out of the lever (2A637).
10) Use spreading snap ring pliers to open the C-clip (2N790/2106). Alternatively, hammer a wide flat-blade screwdriver against the tips to drive the clip back off the pin, then use a strong pick to pull it so it opens. Remove the e-brake lever (2A637) from the rear shoe (2200, more friction material) & spring washer (2N674).
11) Remove both pushrods (2042) and dust caps (2246). (It may be necessary to hold the piston in the cylinder to get the cap past the limiter on the backing plate.) Fluid behind the dust caps indicates a fault in the autoadjuster mechanism or a leak in the wheel cylinder (2261).

Clean ALL points of contact with a wire brush & brake cleaner, including inside the autoadjuster, and the piston faces. Lubricate ALL points of metal-to-metal contact (indicated in Pink) with either silicone grease or brake grease, including the edges of the shoes (2200) & their slide pads on the backing plate (2211).



Insert the e-brake lever (2A637) into a shoe (2200) with LONGER friction material, then install the C-clip (2N790/2106) over the spring washer (2N674) and crimp tightly in the pin's groove. While holding the piston in the cylinder, install the dust cap (2x).

Assembly is the reverse of removal steps 9-1. The e-brake levers go on the REAR shoes (more friction material). The last part to install should be the cable, by hooking it to the pawl, hanging the ring on the peg, and slipping it over the guide while lifting the pawl above the star wheel.

Note that the primary (front) shoe has LESS friction material than the secondary (rear) shoe.

After cleaning...

.

...apply a light coat of brake grease to each point of contact. DO NOT apply grease to the friction material of the pads or shoes.



For drum brakes, apply grease:
- on every point that the steel frame of the shoe touches the backing plate or anything else (but NOT on the friction material or drum)
- inside the autoadjuster and in each end
- where the autoadjuster cable touches the guide
- on the e-brake lever & its pivot pin
- on the equalizer bar where the spring & guide slide
- on the pushrods inside the dust boots where they touch the slave cylinder's pistons.

The CRC grease is the only one that's NOT silicone. It can be purchased in many colors so that shops can tell if they were the last ones to work on your brakes. I buy black for personal use.

Before buying craptasmic brakes or other common parts, check for coupons & service offers from Ford.

ISSUE: The use of petroleum-based grease as a lubricant in servicing disc brakes is no longer acceptable because it may be incompatible with the rubber material used in the disc brake system. If petroleum-based grease is used to lubricate any part of the disc brake system, it could cause rubber parts to swell if lubricant contacts the rubber material.

ACTION: Refer to the following Servicing Procedures for details.

DISC BRAKE SERVICING
CAUTION: DO NOT USE PETROLEUM-BASED SERVICE GREASE (SUCH AS FORD DISC BRAKE CALIPER SLIDE GREASE D7AZ-19590-A) TO LUBRICATE DISC BRAKE CALIPER SLIDE PINS OR RUBBER DUST BOOTS. PETROLEUM-BASED GREASE MAY CAUSE EPDM RUBBER TO SWELL.

When servicing any disc brakes, lubricate necessary components by applying Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound (D7AZ-19A331-A (Motorcraft WA-10)) or an equivalent silicone compound meeting Ford Specification ESE-M1C171-A. Refer to the appropriate Service Manual for specific service details.

DRUM BRAKE SERVICING
When servicing drum brakes, apply Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound (D7AZ-19A331-A (Motorcraft WA-10)) or an equivalent silicone compound meeting Ford Specification ESE-M1C171-A to the contact points between the brake shoes and the drum backing plates for lubrication.

NOTE: DISC BRAKE CALIPER SLIDE GREASE D7AZ-19590-A SHOULD NO LONGER BE USED FOR DISC BRAKE CALIPER SLIDE LUBRICATION.

OTHER SERVICE APPLICATIONS
Existing inventory of D7AZ-19590-A may be used for all other Service Manual procedures. Once material is exhausted, all vehicle procedures specifying Disc Brake Caliper Slide Grease (D7AZ-19590-A) should use Silicone Brake Caliper Grease and Dielectric Compound (D7AZ-19A331-A).

Brake Drum Action.jpg | Hits: 7278 | Size: 55.97 KB | Posted on: 1/13/06 | Link to this image


Drum Brake Action; RIGHT side rolling FORWARD shown
IF THE IMAGE IS TOO SMALL, click it.

During rolling braking, the brake linings don't merely push up against the drum and hold as they do when the vehicle is standing still. Friction between the moving drum and the brake linings drag the brakes shoes in the direction of the rotation as shown. As a result, several important things happen.

1. When the brakes are applied rolling forward, the drag forces cause the primary shoe (with LESS friction material) to rotate away from the anchor pin.

2. The primary shoe pushes the autoadjuster against the secondary shoe.

3. The secondary shoe comes to a stop against the anchor pin, and neither shoe can rotate farther, even though the drag forces are still in effect.

4. These drag forces create a force pivoting the brake shoe outward, creating increased pressure against the drum, called "wedging" or "self-energizing" action. As the shoes are forced outward, the linings wedge themselves tighter to the drum than would occur if the components weren't free to move.

5. In this process, the secondary shoe has more force applied to it than the primary shoe (which is why the primary needs less friction material). Both shoes experience force from the wheel cylinder pistons and both experience drag forces due to the rotation of the drum. But the secondary shoe also gets additional force from the movement of the primary shoe which is transmitted through the self-adjusting link. For this reason, the secondary shoe does more of the braking work than the primary shoe. To take advantage of this, the secondary lining has a larger surface area. It is also thicker because more wear will occur. This process is called "self-energizing" because it causes the brake shoes to apply more braking force than the wheel cylinder alone could apply. When brakes are designed, this effect is planned for. This is why all the brake components are free to move. Without that freedom, the rotating and wedging action wouldn't occur.

Brake Autoadjuster Action.jpg | Hits: 6324 | Size: 31.87 KB | Posted on: 1/13/06 | Link to this image


Autoadjuster Action
IF THE IMAGE IS TOO SMALL, click it.

Self-adjustment takes place in two steps when the vehicle is driven in reverse and stopped with the brakes. Self-adjustment does not take place when the vehicle is backed up and allowed to roll to a stop.

The components of the self-adjustment system are shown in the illustration. The self-adjusting lever does the work. It engages the teeth of the star wheel. A cable is attached to the lever. This cable passes around a guide on the secondary (rear/main) shoe and is attached to the anchor pin. A return spring is also attached to the lever. The other end of the return spring is attached to the primary (front/small) shoe.

When the brakes are applied while traveling in reverse, the friction forces drag the brake shoes in the direction of rotation. This action is similar to the action in normal braking, only in reverse. The movement of the secondary shoe puts tension on the cable and rotates the adjusting lever upward. If the wear on the linings is sufficient to need adjustment, the lever will rise above & then rest on the next tooth up on the star wheel.

When braking is completed, the shoes move back to their normal position. As this happens, the tension on the cable is relaxed. This allows the return spring to force the lever downward, turning the star wheel as it does. Turning the star wheel activates a screw mechanism in the adjusting pin -- lengthening the pin. As the pin lengthens, the linings of both shoes are moved closer to the drum, compensating for wear. This reduces the distance that the shoes & lever move, preventing further adjustment until additional wear occurs.

This simple, mechanical system works well unless the screw mechanism in the adjusting pin has become corroded. If this is the case, the pin may not turn properly and adjustment may not take place. In this case, the cable will be found slack during the next brake service. Also remember that some drivers rarely back up. In this case, sufficient adjustment may not take place.

If the shoes are allowed to wear into the drums, a lip may remain at the inboard edge of the drum which prevents the drum from sliding off the shoes. In this case, the autoadjuster must be retracted manually using 2 tools working through the slot in the backing plate. One tool holds the lever away from the star wheel; the other turns the star wheel to shorten the autoadjuster assembly until the drum can clear the shoes.

The shoes may also wear into the backing plates, preventing them from moving away from their normal positions. This may be particularly noticeable when backing (or using the e-brake when the front is uphill) because the shoes energize the opposite direction. If the wear is shallow, it may be ground down. If it's more than fingernail-depth, the plate should be replaced, though some people weld them up and grind them back down.

A cable from the foot pedal or parking brake lever enters through a hole in the backing plate. It is attached to the end of the lever arm. The other end of the lever is attached to a pivot point on the primary shoe. There is a connecting link between the lever and the secondary shoe. Finally, there is a cable return spring (and rattle preventer) at the secondary shoe end of the connecting link.

When the parking brakes are applied, the lever pivots at the pivot point on the primary shoe. Because of the connecting link between the lever and the secondary shoe, the shoes move apart as the lever is activated. The pivot point moves one way, and the connecting link the other. This pushes the shoes tight against the drum and holds the vehicle as long as tension is maintained.

When the parking brake is released the primary and secondary return springs return the shoes to their normal position. The cable return spring pushes the connecting link back against the lever. The movement of the lever takes up any slack in the parking brake cable.

This is just one of several systems for activating the parking brakes. Other systems use a cam-type lever located directly between the primary and secondary shoes in the vicinity of the anchor pin.

In most Ford light trucks, the parking brakes are activated by a foot pedal. However, some motor homes and step vans use an Orscheln lever in place of the foot pedal.

The major service concern occurs when the components fail to retract properly. This may result in brake drag, overheating and excessive lining wear.

Proper parking brake cable tension is essential for good performance, and clean/greased drum brake hardware is critical to tension adjustment. The old way of adjusting this tension was to release the parking brake and tighten the cable manually until the brakes were just about to engage (assuming the drum mechanisms are working properly). A better way is to fully apply the parking brake and check the tension of the cable. There are two ways to do this: Using a tension gauge, or observing the "bent pin" automatic adjuster (pre-'92 ONLY).

If you use a tension gauge, check the appropriate service manual for the proper tension. If you don't have a tension gauge, you can make a visual check of the "bent pin" connection (pre-'92) at the adjusting point in the parking brake cable. The "bent pin" is attached to the cable from the foot pedal by the coupling cap. The pin turns around a pivot in the tension limiter housing. The open end of the pin has a hook, as shown in the inset. This hook prevents the pin from pulling around the pivot point completely during its service life.
Apply the parking brake, making sure that the pedal is at full travel. Slightly tighten the equalizer nut. If the nail doesn't pull, the tension is not sufficient. Tightening the equalizer nut until the nail does pull will set the correct tension. Follow the instructions in the appropriate service manual.

Drum Shoe Pads
IF THE IMAGE IS TOO SMALL, click it.

An often overlooked area that requires servicing is the backing plate pads that support the brake shoes. The brake shoe shown in the illustration has three tabs. The shoe is pulled against the backing plate by the retaining spring and these tabs bear on three raised pads on the surface of the backing plate. As they move outward and rotate during braking, the tabs on the shoes slide across these pads.

. .

The pads must be well lubricated. If they are not, undesirable friction may occur. If there is friction, the movement of the shoe may score grooves in the pad, grooves that may affect performance over time.

This is the early (pre-'92) e-brake tension limiter & equalizer. The upper cable is an aftermarket replacement, which is surprisingly affordable.

Note that this old-style tension limiter is nearly at the end of its useful life, which is also why the adjuster nut is so close to the end of the threads.

This e-brake cable was allowed to go slack inside the drum, probably due to a stuck autoadjuster and a stuck or frozen cable. The drum then wore through it. Fortunately, aftermarket replacements are fairly cheap.

SD Park Brake
The parking brake is mounted to the transmission extension housing and incorporates a case assembly and a cable actuated 9x3-inch Bendix brake. The case assembly consists of opposed mounted roller bearings, companion flange and mainshaft assembly installed in a one-piece aluminum housing. On F-Super Duty Motorhome vehicles only, the speedometer and speedometer cable assembly are driven by the speedometer drive gear, splined to the mainshaft. The case assembly has its own lubrication supply, separate from the transmission.

This makes it look like 2WD SuperDutys & Motor Homes use 4WD transmissions

This shows the '93-only SCCDS:

'94-up SCCDS is on the front of the master cylinder, and is the subject of a massive recall.


Reading Diagnostic Codes; Light Flash Technique
1. Note: If 12V test light is not available, the amber ABS warning light also flashes during this test. If it fails to light: locate test connector in the engine compartment and install 12V test light between Pins C and E.
2. With the ignition off, jumper Pin B to E (or any ground).
3. Turn key to RUN position.
4. Remove jumper after 5 seconds.
5. Count light flashes of test light or amber ABS warning light.

Clearing Diagnostic Codes:
All diagnostic trouble codes must be output, all concerns corrected (anti-lock light off) and vehicle driven about 40 km/h (25 mph) before diagnostic trouble codes will be erased.
Note: Do not raise vehicle on hoist and accelerate to 40 km/h (25 mph) to simulate driving the vehicle. Erroneous sensor codes will be set.
Automatic Memory Erasing: A diagnostic trouble code will be automatically erased if no system concerns occur for 50 ignition cycles.

HCU testing
The front isolate valves should read 5-8 Ohms each; all other valves should read 3-6 Ohms each. Sensors should read 800-1400 Ohms across the pins, and more than 10K Ohms from the metal shell to either pin. The pump motor sensor should be 5-40 Ohms. This site claims to be able to remanufacture the HCU, but when I called in 2021, they said they MIGHT be able to fix the motor ONLY for $300 plus $25 return shipping in about a week. If they couldn't fix it, they'd only charge $35 plus $25sh.

The acceleration sensor is a group of switches which should be closed when the truck is stationary & level. When the sensor is tilted ~1" up in the rear, pins 2-3 should go open; when tilted ~1.5" up in the front, pins 1-3 should go open.

Light Truck 4-Wheel ABS
A new light truck 4-Wheel ABS was introduced as standard equipment on the 1993 Explorer and Bronco.

Although this system shares some of the features of passenger car 4-Wheel ABS and some of the features of light truck Rear ABS (RABS), it has its own unique features, especially when it comes to diagnosing concerns.

Here are some general features of the light truck 4-Wheel ABS, some of which are common to the other systems as well:
- System prove-out at vehicle start-up of the light truck 4-Wheel ABS is the same as for passenger car and 4-Wheel light truck ABS.
- The amber anti-lock warning light will come on as soon as the vehicle is turned on or started to verify bulb operation, and will go out after 2-3 seconds, provided everything is normal.
- The 4-Wheel ABS operates in 4 x 4 as well as 4 x 2.
- In ABS mode, the brake pedal will pulsate and the pump motor noise may be heard from the engine compartment.
- When ABS codes are read out, code 16 will be present if the system is OK. This code is similar to the EEC's code 111. It basically means that the 4-Wheel ABS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) is indicating that everything is functioning properly electrically. In other words, the components, such as the pump motor and the valves, will activate when needed.
- Conventional bleed is all that is required for service on the new 4WABS including unhooking brake lines from the hydraulic controller (HCU). However, if the HCU is replaced, a special "bleed box" and electrical jumper will be required to bleed the replacement HCU. This procedure is not the same as for the passenger car systems.

There are differences between the Rear ABS and the light truck 4-Wheel ABS.

Front Wheel Control

In the 4WABS system, the front wheels, are now also under ABS control. This is accomplished by adding sensors at each front wheel while maintaining the rear axle ABS sensor (DY1123, F85Z-9E731-AB) that has been used since 1987 for light truck Rear ABS.

Open vs Closed Systems
There is an important difference in how the 4-Wheel ABS handles a low fluid condition and reacts to the red brake warning light.

RABS Open System

The Rear ABS is what is called an "open" hydraulic system. When an ABS stop is initiated and wheel lock is detected, the isolation or inlet valve closes, preventing any more fluid from going to the rear wheels.

Then, if necessary to prevent lockup, an outlet or dump valve opens to bleed fluid out of the rear brake lines. That fluid goes to an accumulator and is held there for the remainder of the stop.

In RABS "open" system, if there is a low fluid condition and the red warning light comes on, the ABS electronic control unit will detect this condition, turn the amber ABS warning light on and disable the system. The vehicle operator will still have basic brake system performance, but the benefit of RABS is lost.

The reason for disabling the RABS is that the low fluid condition could be caused by a leak in the brake system, decreasing its performance.

4WABS Closed System

In the 4-Wheel ABS the red brake light is not monitored. This is because the system is a "closed" hydraulic system.

If you are in a 4WABS stop and a wheel goes to lock, the isolation valve will activate, just as with the RABS. No more fluid will be directed to the wheel that may lock up.

If it still appears that a wheel is going to lock, the dump valve will open, allowing the fluid to bleed to an accumulator similar to the one in the RABS.

However, in this "closed" 4-Wheel ABS there is a pump that will move fluid from the accumulator, back to the line between the master cylinder and the hydraulic control unit, where it may be recycled again through the isolation and dump valves.

Since the fluid in this closed system is still available to both front and rear circuits, the number of cycles is unlimited. The closed 4WABS isn't shut down when the low fluid light comes on, as was the case with the open system.

Stoplamp Switch Signal
The new 4WABS uses the signal from the stoplamp switch (located on the brake pedal) differently than RABS. RABS is turned on when it receives a signal from the stoplamp switch indicating that the brakes are applied. 4WABS is already turned on and will activate when impending wheel lockup is detected. 4WABS first looks at the wheel-speed sensors. If a wheel appears to be going to lock, the system will activate the ABS with or without the stoplamp switch signal.

4WABS Valves.jpg | Hits: 14078 | Size: 45.8 KB | Posted on: 1/13/06 | Link to this image


4WABS Valves
The 4-wheel anti-lock brake system (ABS) prevents wheel lockup by automatically modulating the brake pressure during an emergency stop. By not locking the wheels, the driver can improve steering control during hard braking and stop the vehicle in the shortest possible distance under most conditions.

The ABS controls each front and both rear brakes separately (3 channels). The brake pedal force required to engage the ABS function may vary with the road surface conditions. A dry surface requires greater force, while a slippery surface requires much less force.

During the ABS operation, the driver will sense a pulsation in the brake pedal, accompanied by a slight up and down movement in the pedal height. In addition, a mechanical noise from the engine compartment may be heard. The pedal effort and pedal feel during normal braking are similar to that of a conventional power brake system.

The ABS consists of the following major components:
.
> Anti-Lock Hydraulic Control Unit (2C215) located in the front of the engine compartment on the left frame rail.
> Anti-lock brake electronic control module located in the engine compartment behind the driver's side headlamp on a bracket mounted on the surface of the plastic fender apron.
> Two front brake anti-lock sensors (2C204) are attached to the suspension knuckles. The front brake anti-lock sensor indicators (2C182) are pressed onto the backside of the rotors.
> Rear axle speed sensor integrated into the rear axle housing.
> Acceleration sensor attached to the left frame rail under the brake booster.
> Stoplight switch (13480) located at the brake pedal (2455).
> Pump motor relay (14N089) located in the power distribution box.
> Main relay (14N089) located in the trailer relay box.
> System diode located in the trailer relay box.
> Fuses for system power and the pump motor, both located in the power distribution box.

The anti-lock hydraulic control unit (2C215) is located in the front of the engine compartment on the left frame rail. It consists of a valve body assembly, a pump and a motor assembly.

When the brakes are applied, fluid is forced from the master cylinder outlet ports to the anti-lock hydraulic control unit (2C215) inlet ports. This pressure is transmitted through three normally open solenoid valves contained inside the anti-lock hydraulic control unit, then through the outlet ports of the anti-lock hydraulic control unit to the wheels. The primary (rear) circuit of the master cylinder feeds the rear brakes. The secondary (front) circuit of the brake master cylinder (2140) feeds the front brakes. If the anti-lock brake electronic control module senses that a wheel is about to lock, based on wheel speed sensor data, it pulses the normally open solenoid valve closed, for that circuit. This prevents any more fluid from entering that circuit. The anti-lock brake electronic control module then looks at the sensor signal from the affected wheel again. If that wheel is still decelerating, it opens the normally closed solenoid valve for that circuit. This dumps any pressure that is trapped between the normally open valve and the brake back to the reservoir. Once the affected wheel comes back up to speed, the anti-lock brake electronic control module returns the valves to their normal condition allowing fluid flow to the affected brake.

The anti-lock brake electronic control module monitors the electromechanical components of the system. Malfunction of the Anti-Lock Brake System will cause the Anti-lock brake electronic control module to shut off or inhibit the system. However, normal power assisted braking remains. Malfunctions are indicated by the amber ABS warning light inside the vehicle.

The 4-wheel anti-lock brake system is self monitoring. When the ignition switch is placed in the RUN position, the anti-lock brake electronic control module will perform a preliminary self check on the anti-lock electrical system indicated by a momentary illumination of the amber ABS warning light in the instrument cluster. During vehicle operation, including normal and anti-lock braking, the anti-lock brake electronic control module monitors all electrical anti-lock functions and some hydraulic operations.

In most malfunctions of the anti-lock brake system, the amber ABS warning light will be illuminated. However, most malfunctions are recorded as a coded number in the anti-lock brake electronic control module memory and assist in pinpointing the component needing service. If system is OK, Code 16 will be present.

The anti-lock brake electronic control module is located in the engine compartment behind the driver's side head lamp on a bracket mounted on the surface of the plastic fender apron.

It is an on-board diagnostic, non-repairable unit consisting of two microprocessors and the necessary circuitry for their operation. These microprocessors are programmed identically. The anti-lock brake electronic control module monitors system operation during normal driving as well as during anti-lock braking.

In addition, the anti-lock brake electronic control module provides a speed signal to the programmable speedometer/odometer module (PSOM).

Under normal driving conditions, the microprocessors produce short test pulses to check the electrical system without any mechanical reaction. The anti-lock brake electronic control module continuously monitors the speed of each wheel to determine if any wheel is beginning to lock. When a wheel locking tendency is detected, the anti-lock brake electronic control module signals the appropriate solenoid valve in the anti-lock hydraulic control unit (2C215) to open or close as well as the pump motor to turn on and recycle brake fluid back to the brake master cylinder (2140). This results in moderate pulsations of the brake pedal (2455) and pump noise which may be heard in the passenger compartment. During normal braking, the brake pedal feel will be identical to a standard brake system.

Most concerns which occur to the anti-lock brake system will be stored as a coded number in the Keep-Alive Memory (KAM) of the anti-lock brake electronic control module. This means that once a code is stored, it will be retained by the anti-lock brake electronic control module even with the key in the OFF position. The codes can be retrieved by following the on-board diagnostic procedures.

A new light truck 4-Wheel ABS was introduced as standard equipment on the 1993 Explorer and Bronco, and it was revised in 1994 on Broncos, requiring a different control module revision for '94-96 Broncos, compared to the original '93 Bronco module.

Although this system shares some of the features of passenger car 4-Wheel ABS and some of the features of light truck Rear ABS (RABS), it has its own unique features, especially when it comes to diagnosing concerns.

Here are some general features of the light truck 4-Wheel ABS, some of which are common to the other systems as well:
> System prove-out at vehicle start-up of the light truck 4-Wheel ABS is the same as for passenger car and 4-Wheel light truck ABS.
> The amber anti-lock warning light will come on as soon as the vehicle is turned on or started to verify bulb operation, and will go out after 2-3 seconds, provided everything is normal.
> The 4-Wheel ABS operates in 4 x 4 as well as 4 x 2.
> In ABS mode, the brake pedal will pulsate and the pump motor noise may be heard from the engine compartment.
> When ABS codes are read out, code 16 will be present if the system is OK. This code is similar to the EEC's code 111. It basically means that the 4-Wheel ABS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) is indicating that everything is functioning properly electrically. In other words, the components, such as the pump motor and the valves, will activate when needed.
> Conventional bleed is all that is required for service on the new 4WABS including unhooking brake lines from the hydraulic controller (HCU). However, if the HCU is replaced, a special "bleed box" and electrical jumper will be required to bleed the replacement HCU. This procedure is not the same as for the passenger car systems.

4WABS Circuit

The front inlet valves should read 5-8 Ohms each; all other valves should read 3-6 Ohms each. The 3 ABS sensors (pins 21-25 & 36) should read 800-1400 Ohms across their pins (when disconnected), and more than 10 Ohms from the metal shell (or axle housing) to either pin. The pump motor sensor (pins 37-38 ) should be 5-40 Ohms. The acceleration sensor (pins 30-32) is a group of switches which should be closed when the truck is stationary & level. When the sensor is tilted ~1 inch up in the rear, pins 2-3 should go open; when tilted ~1.5 inches up in the front, pins 1-3 should go open.

This (or worse) is what happens every time I've tried to drive one out of a steering knuckle, probably because I was doing it RONG. Instead of hammering the sensor face, hammer the BOLT HOLE, which is bare steel, and seizes to the cast-iron steering knuckle. When the tube is clean, apply anti-seize lube to it & the clean bore in the knuckle.

RABS Codes 92.jpg | Hits: 24075 | Size: 67.14 KB | Posted on: 1/13/06 | Link to this image


RABS (& RABS-II) Flashout Codes Chart
IF THE IMAGE IS TOO SMALL, click it.

The possible flashout codes are listed and explained in the Flash Codes Chart. Note that Codes 1 and 16 are not used.



Flashout Codes

Whenever the yellow REAR ABS light comes on during normal operation, a flashout code may be obtained to aid in problem diagnosis. If the vehicle is shut off before the code is read from a RABS-I module, the code will be lost. In some cases, the code may reappear when the vehicle is restarted. In other cases, the vehicle may have to be driven to reproduce the problem and, if the problem was associated with an intermittent condition, it may be difficult to reproduce. Therefore, whenever possible, it is recommended that the code be read before the vehicle is shut off. RABS II modules have been designed with Keep Alive Memory to preserve stored codes during key-off, and are to be used to service all prior year RABS I systems, except for 1987 and 1988 Bronco II vehicles.

WARNING: PLACE BLOCKS BEHIND THE REAR WHEELS AND IN FRONT OF THE FRONT WHEELS TO PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM MOVING WHILE THE FLASHOUT CODE IS BEING TAKEN.

NOTE: If the red BRAKE light is also on, due to a grounding of the fluid level circuit (perhaps low brake fluid), no flashout code will be flashed and the REAR ABS light will remain on steadily. Top up the brake master cylinder reservoir before attempting to read codes.

.

NOTE: If there is more than one system fault, only the first recognized flashout code may be obtained.

Obtaining the Flashout Code
A flashout code may be obtained only when the yellow REAR ABS light is on. No code will be flashed if the system is OK. There are certain faults (those associated with the fluid level switch or loss of power to the module) that will cause the system to be deactivated and the REAR ABS light to be illuminated, but will not provide a diagnostic flashout code.

Before obtaining the flashout code, drive the vehicle to a level area, and place the shift lever in PARK for automatic transmissions and NEUTRAL for manual transmissions.

Notice whether the red BRAKE light is on or not (for future reference) and then apply the parking brake.

If a RABS(-1) module is installed, keep the ignition key in the ON position so that the code will not be lost. RABS II modules have been designed with Keep Alive Memory to preserve stored codes during key-off, and are to be used to service all prior year RABS-I systems, except for 1987 and 1988 Bronco II vehicles.

WARNING: PLACE BLOCKS BEHIND THE REAR WHEELS AND IN FRONT OF THE FRONT WHEELS TO PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM MOVING WHILE THE FLASHOUT CODE IS BEING TAKEN.

To obtain the flashout code, locate the RABS diagnostic connector (with the Bk/Or wire); on '92-96, it's above the right end of the glove box bottom corner, inside the dash; on earlier trucks, it's between the brake & e-brake pedals near the firewall. Separate the R wire's connector half, turn the key to RUN, and attach a jumper wire to Bk/Or. Momentarily ground the Bk/OR jumper to the chassis (the lighter socket shell). When the ground is made and then broken, the REAR ABS light should begin to flash.

NOTE: If the red BRAKE light was on (as noticed before the parking brake was applied), the problem may be with the low fluid level circuit and, in this case, no flashout code will be flashed and the light will remain on steadily.

The code consists of a number of short flashes and ends with a long flash. Count the short flashes and include the following long flash in the count to obtain the code number. For example, three short flashes followed by one long flash indicates Flashout Code Four. The code will continue to repeat itself until the key is turned off. It is recommended that the code be verified by reading it several times. In addition, the first code flashed may be too short because it may have been started in the middle. It should be ignored.

After ALL codes have been read & repaired, clear the memory by turning the key off while the connector halves are separated, then reconnect the halves.

Obtaining the Flashout Code
A flashout code may be obtained only when the yellow REAR ABS light is on. No code will be flashed if the system is OK. There are certain faults (those associated with the fluid level switch or loss of power to the module) that will cause the system to be deactivated and the REAR ABS light to be illuminated, but will not provide a diagnostic flashout code.

Before obtaining the flashout code, drive the vehicle to a level area, and place the shift lever in PARK for automatic transmissions and NEUTRAL for manual transmissions.

Notice whether the red BRAKE light is on or not (for future reference) and then apply the parking brake.

RABS ONLY: Keep the ignition key in the ON position so that the code will not be lost.
RABS-II has been designed with keep-alive memory.

WARNING: PLACE BLOCKS BEHIND THE REAR WHEELS AND IN FRONT OF THE FRONT WHEELS TO PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM MOVING WHILE THE FLASHOUT CODE IS BEING TAKEN.

To obtain the flashout code, locate the RABS diagnostic connector (with the Bk/Or wire), and attach a jumper wire to it. Momentarily ground it to the chassis. When the ground is made and then broken, the REAR ABS light should begin to flash.

NOTE: If the red BRAKE light was on (as noticed before the parking brake was applied), the problem may be with the low fluid level circuit and, in this case, no flashout code will be flashed and the light will remain on steadily.

The code consists of a number of short flashes and ends with a long flash. Count the short flashes and include the following long flash in the count to obtain the code number. For example, three short flashes followed by one long flash indicates Flashout Code Four. The code will continue to repeat itself until the key is turned off. It is recommended that the code be verified by reading it several times. In addition, the first code flashed may be too short because it may have been started in the middle. It should be ignored.

Hydro-Boost
The Bendix Hydro-Boost brake booster is a hydraulically operated brake booster powered by the power steering pump. The power steering pump provides the fluid pressure to operate both the hydraulically-powered brake booster (hydro-boost) and the power steering gear. It provides a variable power assist that is regulated by the brake pedal application pressure.

The hydro-boost also has a reserve system (compressed gas accumulator) that is designed to store sufficient fluid under pressure to provide at least two power assist brake applications in the event that the fluid flow from the power steering pump is not available. The brakes can also be applied manually if the reserve system is depleted.

Hydro-Boost model identification is stamped into the booster housing near the inlet line.

Bleeding the Hydro-Boost Unit

1. Fill the pump reservoir with Motorcraft MerconŽ Multi-Purpose Automatic Transmission Fluid E4AZ-19582-B XT-2-QDX or -DDX (ESP-M2C138-CJ) or equivalent. F-Super Duty Motorhome and Commercial Stripped Chassis uses a ZF pump and Motorcraft MerconŽ lubricant only.
2. Crank the engine for several seconds, with the coil wire disconnected (do not start the engine).
3. Check the fluid level, and add if necessary. Reconnect coil wire.
4. Start the engine.
5. With the engine running, turn the wheels lock to lock two times. Turn the engine off.
6. Depress the brake pedal several times to discharge the accumulator.
7. Repeat Steps 4 and 5.
8. If foaming occurs, stop the engine and allow the foam to dissipate.
9. Repeat Steps 4 and 5 as required, until all the air is removed from the system.

NOTE: The Hydro-Boost is generally self-bleeding, and the above procedure will normally bleed the air from the booster. Normal operation of the vehicle will further remove any additional trapped air.

Hydro-BoostRest.jpg | Hits: 3316 | Size: 56.96 KB | Posted on: 1/13/06 | Link to this image


Hydro-Boost at Rest
With the Hydro-Boost at rest (engine on, brakes released) oil flows from the inlet (pump) port, across the number 3 land and out the gear port. In this position, steering pressure created by the steering gear and pump is isolated from the boost cavity by the spool valve. Lands 2 and 4 block this steering pressure avoiding activation of the unit. Any leakage goes directly back to the reservoir.

Hydro-BoostGen.jpg | Hits: 3852 | Size: 59.96 KB | Posted on: 1/13/06 | Link to this image


Hydro-Boost Generating Pressure
During normal power operation, the brake pedal is applied as shown by input rod travel A. The movement of the ratio lever operates the spool valve creating hydraulic pressure due to the restriction at land 3. Fluid traverses land 2 and flows through the center of the spool into the boost cavity. This pressure acts against the power piston to give the power assist and against the reaction rod to provide the effort level of the brake pedal.

If, while braking, fluid pressure is required for steering, pump pressure will rise and the spool valve will shift in an open direction allowing more fluid to flow to the steering gear. Even under extremes of braking, the fluid flow to the steering gear is fully sufficient for steering the vehicle.

The enlarged view of the spool valve shows the relationship of the valve lands during normal power operation. Land 1 is closed blocking the oil flow to the reservoir. Land 3 meters the flow of oil from the supply pump to the steering gear and generates the hydraulic pressure that is metered across land 2 to provide assist to the brakes.

The enlarged view of the valve shows the same operation except pressure is generated by the steering gear and is also being used for braking. During this mode of operation, the spool travel is slightly less than the first case.

Hydro-BoostReserve.jpg | Hits: 4185 | Size: 38.43 KB | Posted on: 1/13/06 | Link to this image


Hydro-Boost Reserve
The reserve braking system consists of a charging valve, an accumulator valve and a compressed gas accumulator. The system is open to the pressure port of the hydro-boost.

The accumulator is charged by the pump pressure during normal steering or braking operation through a check valve that communicates with the pump port.

The charging valve has an orifice and a check valve. Fluid from the pump passes around the check valve into the accumulator if the pump pressure exceeds the pressure in the accumulator. The charging rate is controlled by the orifice to minimize its effect on fluid flow to the steering gear. The check valve prevents reverse flow when the accumulator pressure is greater than pump pressure.

The accumulator valve is a small poppet-type valve held closed by the pressure stored in the accumulator. An actuator on the spool valve sleeve opens the accumulator valve when a stop with no pump pressure is made that requires use of the reserve system pressure.

Fluid pressure can also enter the accumulator from the boost chamber through the accumulator valve. This condition occurs whenever boost chamber pressure momentarily exceeds accumulator pressure.

A pressure relief valve vents the accumulator to the pump pressure port whenever pressure in the accumulator exceeds approximately 9,652 kPa (1,400 psi).

Hydro-Boost Manual
When reserve power is depleted (manual operation) pressure on the brake pedal will cause the input bracket to separate from a shoulder on the input rod, compresses the input spring and allows a change of ratio between input and output rods. This ratio increase will cause the brake pedal to travel further and increases the mechanical force applied to the master cylinder.

Hydro-BoostLeak.jpg | Hits: 4318 | Size: 29.92 KB | Posted on: 1/13/06 | Link to this image


Hydro-Boost Leak
Basic Test

With the engine off, depress and release the brake pedal several times to deplete all hydraulic pressure from the Hydro-Boost. Depress and hold the brake pedal with light pressure, then start the engine. If the Hydro-Boost is operating, the pedal will fall slightly and then hold. Less pressure will be required to hold the pedal at this position.

Hydro-Boost Leak Test

Thoroughly clean the Hydro-Boost unit, and all hoses and hose connections. Start the engine and run at idle speed. If the hose connections do not leak, check the Hydro-Boost for leakage. Apply the brakes with approximately 444 N (100 lbs) pressure at the pedal, and hold while checking the Hydro-Boost hoses for leaks. CAUTION: Do not hold the brake pedal at 444 N (100 lbs) effort for more than five seconds at a time. If the Hydro-Boost leaks, it is worn or damaged and must be replaced.

Reserve Retention Check

Charge the system with pressure by holding the steering on the stop, or by holding the brake pedal with 444 N (100 lbs) of force for five seconds with the engine running at idle. Turn the engine off. Eight to twelve hours later, depress the brake pedal with the engine off. There should be some degree of power reserve. If there is no power reserve, replace the Hydro-Boost unit.

Brake Hydraulic Leak Test

Depress and release the brake pedal several times, then hold the brake pedal down with medium pressure of 111-156 N (25-35 lb). If the pedal falls away, the brake system is leaking. Check for leaks at the disc brake calipers, brake lines, master cylinder, and hoses. If there is no external leakage, there may be internal leakage in the master cylinder. If the pedal does not fall away during this test, then the hydraulic system is not leaking.

On-car brake lathe. The motor is turned on, the automatic calibration process finishes, & the cutters are set to the rotor's surfaces. Then they are positioned at the inner edge of the rotor & tightened 3 counts each.

The depth of cut should be between 0.10 and 0.20 mm (0.004 and 0.008 in). Lighter cuts will cause the bit to heat up and wear faster. Heavier cuts will cause poor brake disc surface finish.
