Important: It is not necessary to remove or disconnect the master cylinder from the vehicle in order to remove the vacuum booster. However, if both the vacuum booster and master cylinder are to be removed, remove the master cylinder first as described in Master Cylinder Replacement .

Move the master cylinder forward just enough to clear the studs on the vacuum booster. This will flex the brake pipes slightly. Do not bend or distort the brake pipes.

Tilt the entire vacuum booster slightly to work the booster pushrod off the pedal clevis pin without putting undue pressure in the pushrod.

Tighten
Tighten the nuts to 28 N·m (20 lb ft).

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
