Removal
Ground Cable Attachment At Strut Tower:
1. Remove the remote ground cable from the ground stud located on the left strut tower.
Correctly Isolated Remote Ground Cable:
2. Correctly isolate remote ground cable when servicing vehicle by installing the ground cable insulator on the strut tower ground stud as shown. This will prevent accidental grounding of the remote ground cable.
Speed Control Servo Attachment:
3. If equipped, remove the vehicle's wiring harness connector from the speed control servo. Remove the 2 speed control servo mounting bracket to strut tower attaching nuts. Without removing speed control cable from servo, move speed control servo out of the way.
Purge Control Solenoid:
4. Remove the vacuum harness connector and electrical connector from the purge solenoid. Remove purge solenoid from vehicle.
Air Inlet Resonator And Tube:
5. Remove the air inlet resonator and air inlet hose as an assembly, from the engine mounted air inlet resonator and air cleaner housing.
Vacuum Hose Attachment To Check Valve:
6. Remove the vacuum hoses from the check valve located on the power brake vacuum booster.
EGR Valve Transducer Assembly:
7. Remove EGR valve transducer assembly and vacuum hoses from the EGR valve. Valve removal is necessary for required clearance to remove power brake vacuum booster from vehicle and not damage transducer during removal.
Master Cylinder Brake Fluid Level Sensor:
8. Remove the vehicle's wiring harness connector from the master cylinder brake fluid level sensor.
Master Cylinder Mounting:
9. Remove the 2 nuts attaching the master cylinder assembly to the power brake vacuum booster.
CAUTION: When removing the routing clip and brake tubes from the mounting stud do not bend or kink the chassis brake line tubes.
10. Remove the routing clip and chassis brake tubes (as an assembly) from the mounting stud for the master cylinder.
Master Cylinder Assembly Positioned For Booster Removal:
11. Without removing the brake tubes from master cylinder, remove it from the power brake vacuum booster. Then carefully lower master cylinder and brake tubes as an assembly until it is positioned on top of the transaxle.
Input Rod Retaining Pin:
12. Locate the vacuum booster input rod to brake pedal attachment under instrument panel. Position a small screwdriver between the retaining clip center tang and the retaining clip. Rotate screwdriver enough to allow retaining clip center tang to pass over end of brake pedal pin. Then pull retaining clip off brake pedal pin. Discard retaining clip. Replace only with a new retaining clip when assembled.
Vacuum Booster Mounting:
13. Remove the 4 nuts attaching the vacuum booster to the dash panel. Nuts are accessible from under dash panel in area of the steering column and pedal bracket assembly.
Vacuum Booster Removal:
14. Slide vacuum booster forward until mounting studs clear dash panel and then tilt up and rotate toward center of vehicle to remove.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to disassemble the power brake vacuum booster it is to be serviced ONLY as a complete assembly.
