### Installation Procedure

Caution: Internal components of this booster are not serviceable. The housing must not be unstaked and separated. Separating the housing will cause permanent deformation, preventing the booster from holding proper volume.

Caution: Inspect the locking flanges on booster and mounting plate. Replace the booster and mounting plate if the locking flanges are bent or damaged.

Note: If reinstalling the old vacuum brake booster ensure that the locking tab on the brake booster assembly is straight. This will ensure that the locking tab will lock into position when installed.

1. Straighten the vacuum brake booster locking tab (1) if previously removed.
2. Install the vacuum brake booster through the dust boot on the cowl.
3. Carefully install the vacuum brake booster to the vacuum brake booster pushrod (3).

Note: Ensure that the long leg of the retainer clip is in the machined groove of the pushrod (3).

4. Carefully push the vacuum brake booster on to the pushrod until the long leg of the retaining clip seats into the machined groove of the pushrod.
5. Position the vacuum brake booster on the cowl counter clockwise from the final installation position so that the locking flanges on the vacuum brake booster and on the cowl mounting flange engage.

Note: Ensure that the locking tab and the flanges are in the fully engaged position.

6. Turn the vacuum brake booster clockwise with a ratchet on the J 22805-B (2). DO NOT use a flat bladed tool in the locking tab to install the vacuum brake booster. When the vacuum brake booster is correctly installed, the locking tab (1) slides up the flange and engages the locking notch.
7. Remove the J 22805-B (2) from the installed vacuum brake booster.
8. Reposition and connect the vacuum hose and check valve assembly to the booster.
9. Remove the surge tank inlet hose from the surge tank.
10. Install the coolant surge tank. Refer to Radiator Surge Tank Replacement.
11. Install the surge tank inlet hose. Refer to Radiator Surge Tank Replacement.
12. Install the air inlet grille panel. Refer to Air Inlet Grille Panel Replacement.
13. Install the master cylinder to the vacuum brake booster. Refer to Master Cylinder Replacement.
