POWER BRAKES, FORD MOTOR CO. -> PUSHROD ADJUSTMENT -> BENDIX TYPE -> SINGLE DIAPHRAGM BOOSTER
Vehicle: 1991 Mercury Capri XR2 1.6 L4 GAS

A properly adjusted pushrod that remains assembled to the booster with which is was matched during production should not require service adjustment. However, if the ...

POWER BRAKES, FORD MOTOR CO. -> CHECKING COMPLAINTS
Vehicle: 1991 Mercury Capri XR2 1.6 L4 GAS

Complaints about power brake operation should be handled as if two separate systems exist. Check for faults in the hydraulic system first. If it is satisfactory, start inspecting the power brake circuit. For a quick check of proper power unit operation, press the brake pedal firmly and then start the engine. The pedal should fall away slightly and less pressure should be needed to maintain the pedal in any position.

Another check begins with installation of a suitable pressure gauge in the brake hydraulic system. Take a reading with the engine off and the power unit not opera...

DISC BRAKES, FORD MOTOR CO. -> General Information -> BRAKE DISC SERVICE -> BLEEDING DISC BRAKES -> BRAKE ROUGHNESS
Vehicle: 1991 Mercury Capri XR2 1.6 L4 GAS

In addition, the surface finish must be non-directional and maintained at a micro inch finish. This close control of the rubbing surface finish is necessary to avoid pulls and erratic performance and promote long lining life and equal lining wear of both left and right brakes.

In light of the foregoing remarks, refinis...
