Removing and Installing Vacuum BoosterA faulty vacuum booster is not reparable, and must be replaced. It can be removed and installed with ordinary hand tools. Replacing the vacuum booster requires removing and installing the master cylinder. See Removing and Installing Master Cylinder above. To remove the vacuum booster, disconnect the vacuum hose from the booster, and disconnect the pushrod from the brake pedal. Working in the engine compartment, remove the four nuts that mount the vacuum booster to its support bracket, and remove the booster. Installation is the reverse of removal. Coat all contacting surfaces with lubricating paste, Volkswagen part no. A05 126 000 06. Use new self-locking nuts when installing the booster. |
