1990 Ford\u00a0<\/a>Bronco Brakes<\/big>
\n<\/u><\/p>\n

I helped my son replace the disc brake pads and rotors on his 1990 4WD Ford Bronco.\u00a0 We quickly discovered that unlike other (non-Ford) cars, the rotors don\u2019t just come off because they are on the inside of the wheel hubs!\u00a0 The first step is to remove the manual or automatic 4WD hubs.\u00a0 Then, the fun begins because you need Ford tool T95T-1197-A to remove the bearing nut.\u00a0 Our Haynes repair manual says we need T59T-1197-A, which I think is a misprint.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t show a picture of the \u201cbusiness end\u201d of this special socket and the local parts stores don\u2019t seem to have a way to look up Ford tool numbers.\u00a0 So, here is a picture of it:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Ford tool T95T-1197-A is equivalent to OTC No. 795.\u00a0 Once we knew what we were looking for, it was available at\u00a0Baxter Auto Parts<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0The top of the picture shows the wheel nut.\u00a0 Here is what you\u2019re looking at once the automatic hubs are removed:<\/p>\n

1990 Ford Bronco\u00a0<\/a>Turn Signal Switch<\/p>\n

This procedure requires a steering wheel puller and some patience. The following pictures are for replacing the turn signal switch on a 1990 Ford Bronco XLT with a tilt steering wheel (push on the turn signal lever to tilt).\u00a0 A non-tilt replacement is probably similar, but it uses a different turn signal switch.<\/p>\n

Start by removing the two phillips screws at the rear of the steering wheel.\u00a0 You can then lift off the assembly that contains the horn and cruise control buttons.\u00a0 Disconnect the connecter and carefully pull out the ground connection (squeeze the connector to release).<\/p>\n

Now, you\u2019ll need a steering wheel puller to remove the wheel.\u00a0 I\u2019m using STL 45000 from CarQuest. The steering wheel came off very easily.<\/p>\n

\"STL<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is what\u2019s below the steering wheel.\u00a0 You\u2019ll need to remove the two small hex screws on the right and two phillips screws (only one is visible in this picture).\u00a0 Note that the bottom plastic piece which keeps the blinker engaged is broken off.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Disconnect the cable below the dash.\u00a0 You\u2019ll have to remove the connector to pull the cable up the steering column (see next picture).\u00a0 I cut off the wires so that I could use it as a template for new cable\/connector.\u00a0 Remove the turn signal switch and pull the cable up the steering column.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To get the new cable down the steering column, you\u2019ll need to remove the wires from the new connector housing.\u00a0 This is done by removing the red tab from the center of the connector.\u00a0 The pins can now be easily removed with a small screw driver.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At this point, the battery in my camera gave out, so you\u2019ll have to imaging the rest.\u00a0 I taped the wire ends together and attached a wire to help pull it through the steering column.\u00a0 Once it\u2019s down, replace the two phillips screws and two hex screws that hold the turn signal switch in place.\u00a0 Replace the turn signal lever, put the pins back into the connector and connect it under the dash.<\/p>\n

When you put the steering wheel back on, make sure you align the mark on the wheel with the one on the shaft.<\/p>\n
