emergency brake have a problem .. brake Ranger and other Fords emergency brake fix

If the brakes work but you have to push very hard, try checking the vacuum supply to the brake booster with the engine running.

The rear brake cylinders are located inside the hub with the brake shoes on drum brakes...(common in 2004 Rangers on rear only) The brake cylinders are a "wear item" with seals...we used to rebuild the cylinder with new seals...best today to buy new brake cylinders to replace the leakey ones...You will need to bleed all 4 brake line/wheel connections after the replacement. Hope this helps.

you have brake drums on this truck correct? If so open the drums and inspect the hardware to be installed correctly

Remove rear wheels and then remove rear drums. You might have to pound on the drums with a hammer to break them loose fromthe axle shaft. Pound in between the lug nuts to loosen the drums. Inspect brake lining for wear, replace as necessary and then install new drums.

A drum brake shoe lining may have become separated from the metal pad that holds it in place and will cause the wheel to lock. The only repair necessary is to replace the brake linings with new ones. The loose piece of brake lining, if this is the cause, will not likely cause any difficulty removing the drum.

Remove wheel, brake drum, and brake shoes. The cylinder is the part the brake line goes into and it spreads the brake shoes apart when you brake.

Loosen the brake line but do not take off, unbolt the cylinder and then disconnect brake line. loosely connect the brake line to the new cylinder so you do not loose much brake fluid, bolt new cylinder in and then tighten the brake line.
Reinstall shoes. There should be a bleeding screw/grease head in the brake cylinder, loosen this and have someone step on the brake to bleed the line, have them hold the brake while you tighten the bleed screw. Do this as many times as necessary until brake fluid only with no air comes out.
Reinstall drum and tire, top off brake fluid.

Copy and paste this into your search window: 2002 ford ranger rear brake diagram

You should see four pictures pop up, select the brake parts diagram or the brake picture.

OK! Front brakes not releases all the way; bad calipers or rotten insides on your flex lines (acting as a check valve holding some pressure). Rear- replace hardware and wheel cylinder,( make sure the smaller shoe is on the front halve of backing plate or it will catch and lockup.)
