30 ft-lb (40 Nm)
.
3. For 2005 through 2007 vehicles, attach the power vacuum brake booster to the

Testing
Vacuum Leak Test
1. Operate the engine at idle without touching the brake pedal for at least one minute.
2. Turn off the engine and wait one minute.
3. Test for the presence of assist vacuum by depressing the brake pedal and
releasing it several times. If vacuum is present in the system, light application will
produce less and less pedal travel. If there is no vacuum, air is leaking into the
system.
System Operation Test
1. With the engine
OFF
, pump the brake pedal until the supply vacuum is entirely
gone.
2. Put light, steady pressure on the brake pedal.
3. Start the engine and let it idle. If the system is operating correctly, the brake pedal
should fall toward the floor if the constant pressure is maintained.
Brake Fluid
Bleeding the Brake System (Non ABS)
1. Clean all dirt from around the master cylinder fill cap, remove the cap and fill the
master cylinder with brake fluid until the level is within 1/4 in. (6mm) of the top edge
of the reservoir.
2. Clean the bleeder screws at all 4 wheels. The bleeder screws are located on the
top of the brake calipers.
3. Attach a length of rubber hose over the bleeder screw and place the other end of
the hose in a glass jar, submerged in brake fluid.
4. Starting at the right rear proceed in this order left front, left rear and right front.
5. Open the bleeder screw 1/2 - 3/4 turn. Have an assistant slowly depress the brake
pedal.
6. Close the bleeder screw and tell your assistant to allow the brake pedal to return
slowly. Continue this process to purge all air from the system.
