Installation
If a new parking brake assembly is ordered through Ford Parts and Service Division, a container of Motorcraft MERCON® Multi-Purpose Automatic Transmission Fluid XT-2-QDX or MERCON® equivalent is also provided as part of the kit. This fluid is to be used to fill the parking brake assembly once the assembly is installed onto the transmission.
Using two guide bolts or drift pins, attach the parking brake assembly to the transmission splined output shaft (7060) and transmission extension housing.
CAUTION: Do not reuse old bolts.
Install six new hex-head bolts (part number N605804-S100) to attach parking brake assembly to the transmission extension housing. Tighten the bolts to 34-57 Nm (25-42 lb-ft).
With the parking brake assembly installed, fill the parking brake assembly with Motorcraft MERCON® Multi-Purpose Automatic Transmission Fluid XT-2-QDX or -DDX or MERCON® equivalent to the bottom of the filler hole. Install and tighten the filler plug to 35-40 Nm (26-29 lb-ft).
Attach the driveshaft to the parking brake assembly output flange and tighten the bolts to 20-27 Nm (15-20 lb-ft).
Install the front parking brake cable and conduit into the mounting bracket, and snap into position.
