Dismantling and installation of the brake booster (Chassis / Brake system / Ford Mondeo 3 2000-2007)

Before dismantling the GTZ, make sure that there is no reduced pressure in the brake booster. To do this, disconnect either the low pressure line from the booster, or «pump» brake pedal with the engine stopped until the force on the pedal becomes «conspicuous».

Remove the brake master cylinder as described above. The compensation tank with brake fluid remains installed on it.
Remove the shock absorber bearing cap and...
... remove the bearing from the reinforcement holder.
Unscrew the reinforcement holder from the fairing and side wall.
Unscrew the nut (arrow) on the working rod of the brake booster.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

So «stops» brake fluid

If you remove the brake pipe (brake hose), the brake fluid slowly drains from the expansion tank. If not, then before work, release the purge plug of the corresponding brake circuit and put on a hose to remove air. Insert the free end of the hose into a clean container and fully depress the brake pedal. Then fix the position of the brake pedal to the base of the body with a piece of wood or a suitable weight. Now close the intake holes in the GTZ - the brake fluid can no longer be removed.
