    XF rear disc calipers

  12. Rebuilding a brake booster is not a easy job lots of parts inside can break easy trust me broke a few over the yrs when doing my time in a brake shop. The most common thing what goes in the boosters is the diaphragms Now the one here is out of my xd van sp ot does have to of them and they look worse cause they tore getting them off. Now first step to getting them apart is to mark the outer case of the booster so u know where the top half and bottom half need to line up, You will need a press a plate to go in between the press for the booster to be held in using the bolts that hold it to the fire wall, a long flat bar with 3 holes in to go over the studs and the pin that goes into the master (needs to be long for leverage as top and bottom will be stuck together good) now depending on how thick the bar you have is you will a small bit of tube to go over the pin as it will poke through. Put in the press with a bit of pressure but don't go overboard and then start turning the top half with the bar just watch you don't bend the studs to much if it doesn't move u can use a pair of vice grips to bend the peens on the bottom half a bit to let it move a bit easier Now once you get it to turn and line the 2 bits up you can release the pressure off the press now don't go to quick as there is a spring in there not as strong as a brake chamber off a truck but will make shoot out if not careful. Now this is how one will look when one has had brake fluid in it for a bit Give it all a clean up with the sand blaster, now the main part to be careful with is the bakerlite guts Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
  13. U might find the seal is starting to let go, if there was a hole in the diaphragm u would know bout it the brake pedal would be hard as rock. To test if still working fine when car is off press the pedal till rock hard and while still holding the brake down start the car the vacuum should pull the pedal down with ease under the pressure of ur foot Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
  14. The two diaphragms numbers are VH2579 and VH 2580 still need to find the others Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

  18. Now after you have it all cleaned up and painted you can put ur seals in using the tools I use the press to put them in but can use the hammer just make sure they are home, the silicon grease is use in the seals. Next put one of the steel plates on the bakerlite and then use some rubber grease on the first diaphragm on the center hole there is a bit of a art to get the plate to sit in the right spot and the diaphragm on behind it, Now the second plate with the seal goes on next and then the second diaphragm will go on and will look like the pic above sitting on press, now put ur push rod back in using rubber grease on it aswell after it's all the way put ur c clip on to hold it in place, you can now slide it back into the bottom half of the case, Now you are getting closer to being done you should have left a front rubber seal and a reaction disc which goes in on top of the c clip then ur push rod that goes into the brake master is next on top place the booster back in to the press, now where the lid will spin on the diaphragm when pressed back together put use rubber grease on the diaphragm side put the spring back in and lid on and line up the two marks that you made in the start before pulling apart, now you can put in ur front seal with its metal plate use a bit of rubber grease on the hole where it goes over the push rod, now you can put in the grommet and one way valve, Now to test which is hard unless you have a vacuum pump to see if it holds Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
  19. More to come later Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
  20. These parts are what needs replacing the part numbers are on them but if I have the old bits still I will put them up Once you get all the new parts you will also need some rubber grease (sex lube will not work) and some silicone grease which is use on the seals.

  21. You can clean the bakerlite up lightly with some with some wet and dry and kerosene just make sure there is no big grooves where the seals run, to pull out the push rod from the bakerlite after you pull the diaphragms off u should see at least 3/4 of the way up to the top a clip or on top of the push rod you will see a c clip then the push rod will pull out. The rear seal just knock the old one out making sure not to mark the case, now here is the part which is hard unless you have access to a lathe, you need to make up these tools to put the seals in with Now like any seal make sure they go in flush and straight but one thing these are very brittle Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
  22. Here is a bit of a start will do some more tomorrow night this a real brain f#$k for me to try and explain then for me to just do it Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
