• Q: How to replace the vacuum brake booster on 2001 Chevrolet Malibu?

  A: Start by taking out the air cleaner assembly followed by disconnecting both the underhood electrical center components from their bracket. Pull the master cylinder away from the hydraulic Brake Booster while checking to see if you have misplaced the foil insulator between these parts and the dashboard. Take off the left closeout panel to get the vacuum Brake Booster check valve installed together with the vacuum hose. Reposition the vacuum Brake Booster from the Brake Pedal to loosen the pushrod fingers from the pedal clevis pin without high side pressure. Install the booster in the vehicle before connecting the booster pushrod to the Brake Pedal through booster lowering and proper smooth pressure assembly. Secure the booster nuts at 27 nm torque before reinstalling the left cover parts panel. Attach the vacuum hose assembly including the check valve to the booster before installing both the booster and master cylinder pieces. End by setting the underhood electrical center bracket then joining the electrical parts back into the center and placing the air cleaner component.
