vehicle. Place a suitable box wrench on the bleeder fitting and attach a rubber
drain tube to the fitting. The end of the tube should fit snugly around the bleeder
fitting. Submerge the other end of the tube in a container partially filled with clean
brake fluid and loosen the fitting

turn.
3. Have an assistant push the brake pedal down slowly through its full travel. Close
the bleeder fitting and allow the pedal to slowly return to its full release position.
Wait 5 seconds and repeat the procedure until no bubbles appear at the
submerged end of the bleeder tube. Secure the bleeder fitting and remove the
bleeder tube. Install the rubber dust cap on the bleeder fitting.
4. Repeat the bleeding procedure at the left front, left rear and right front (in that
order). Refill the master cylinder reservoir after each caliper has been bled, and
install the master cylinder cap and gasket. When brake bleeding is completed, the
fluid level should be filled to the maximum level indicated on the reservoir.
5. Always make sure the disc brake pistons are returned to their normal positions by
depressing the brake pedal several times until normal pedal travel is established. If
the pedal feels spongy, repeat the bleeding procedure.
Power Brake Booster
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Pump the brake pedal until all vacuum is
removed from the booster. This will prevent the O-ring from being sucked into the
booster during disassembly.
2. Disconnect the manifold vacuum hose from the booster check valve, and the
electrical connector from the master cylinder reservoir cap.
3. Remove the brake lines from the primary and secondary outlet ports of the master
cylinder, then remove the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) supply hose. Plug the
ports and reservoir feed to prevent brake fluid from leaking onto paint and wiring.
4. Under the instrument panel, remove the stop light switch wiring connector from
the switch. Disengage the pedal travel switch from the stud. Remove the hairpin
retainer and outer nylon washer from the pedal pin. Slide the stop light switch off
the brake pedal just far enough for the outer arm to clear the pin. Remove the
switch.
5. Remove the booster-to-dash panel attaching nuts. Slide the bushing and booster
pushrod off the brake pedal pin.
6. Move the booster forward until the booster studs clear the dash panel. Remove the
booster and master cylinder assembly.
7. Place the booster and master cylinder assembly on a bench. Unfasten the 2 nuts
attaching the master cylinder to the booster, then remove the master cylinder.
To install:
8. Slide the master cylinder onto the booster studs. Make sure the O-ring is in place
in the groove on the master cylinder and install the 2 attaching nuts. Tighten the
nuts to 13-25 ft. lbs. (18-34 Nm).
9. Under the instrument panel, install the booster pushrod and bushing on the brake
pedal pin. Fasten the booster to the dash panel with self-locking nuts. Tighten the
nuts to 13-25 ft. lbs. (18-34 Nm).
10. Position the stop light switch so it straddles the booster pushrod with the switch
slot towards the pedal blade, and with the hole just clearing the pin. Slide the
switch completely onto the pin.
