Question 1

How to Ensure Proper Installation of the Brake Booster on Cadillac CTS?

Accepted Answer

The first step in vacuum Brake Booster replacement is to put together j 22805-b (Brake Booster Holder). First remove the left insulator cover and then take out the vacuum Brake Booster Pushrod retaining clip along with the Pushrod from the Brake Pedal setup. Set the master cylinder aside safely by taking it off its connection to the booster without disconnecting brake pipes if needed. Once you access the vacuum Brake Booster you can open its locking tab by taking off the air inlet grille panel. Drain coolant from the surge tank inlet hose but leave it attached before removing its tank bolts. Turn the coolant surge tank bolts loose and move it aside before reconnecting the inlet tube to avoid coolant leakage. You must attach the j 22805-b device through the master cylinder retaining nuts to the vacuum Brake Booster check valve. Deactivate the locking tab on the cowl using a flat-blade tool then remove the booster with a ratchet on j 22805-b while turning it counterclockwise. You need to raise the vacuum Brake Booster from its cowl mounting flange and support it before pushing the foam filter forward to get to the retaining clip. Raise the taller edge of the retaining clip upwards to take out the vacuum Brake Booster Pushrod from the unit. Install the booster without damaging its internal parts and the ledge locking system. Push the vacuum Brake Booster onto the Pushrod and keep pushing until the retaining clip engages its position. Rotate the booster clockwise to connect it before using the j 22805-b on the ratchet without a flat blade. Press the booster into place until the locking feature reaches total activation. Reconnect the vacuum hose and check valve assembly after you take off the j 22805-b and put back the coolant surge tank. Place the vacuum Brake Booster Pushrod into its slot and rotate it counterclockwise to install the retaining clip on top. Next, put on the air inlet grille panel as well as integrate the master cylinder, cross vehicle brace (if needed), and left closeout/insulator panel.

Question 2

How to replace the hydraulic brake booster on Cadillac Escalade?

Accepted Answer

The first step to replace the hydraulic Brake Booster requires application of the park brake along with blocking the wheels. You should disconnect the inlet hose along with the steering gear while separating the return hoses from the booster assembly but keep all pipes attached to the master cylinder. The mechanic should detach the master cylinder to hydraulic booster nuts before placing the master cylinder in the engine compartment. First disconnect the stop lamp switch and afterward remove the 4 booster to bulkhead nuts before extracting the booster assembly with its gasket. The steps for installing the new gasket include its placement ahead of installing the booster assembly. Place the 4 booster to bulkhead nuts and torque them to 33 nm (24 lb ft). After installing the stop lamp switch proceed to install the master cylinder onto the Brake Booster while securing its nuts to 33 nm (24 lb ft). The procedure ends by adding the return hose together with the steering gear and inlet hoses before bleeding the hydraulic booster system and freeing the park brake and opening the wheels.

Question 3

How to replace the vacuum brake booster on Cadillac XLR?

Accepted Answer

Before you replace the vacuum Brake Booster you need to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery then take off the coolant surge tank. Unplug the brake fluid sensor electrical connector and take out the master cylinder mounting nuts while placing the master cylinder aside without detaching brake lines. First disconnect the Brake Booster Vacuum Hose at its connection to the booster check valve. Pull off the instrument panel lower trim panel to access the booster. Take out the pushrod from the brake pedal and then remove the mounting nuts from the Brake Booster studs along with washer and retainer. This step needs the booster to be pushed out from its push-on nut location on the cowl. To take the booster off the cowl you need to rock it back and forth until the mounting studs slide out of the push-on nuts. Then pull the booster directly up and take it plus the seal from the front of the cowl. Check if any issues exist on the booster seal or its attaching surfaces and replace the seal if required. Install both the Brake Booster and its seal in front of the dash before putting the booster studs through and tighten the bolts to 27 nm (19 ft. Lbs.). Attach the Brake Booster pushrod plus addition parts to the brake pedal assembly following retention device rotation to complete its locking function. Put back the instrument panel lower trim before attaching the vacuum hose to the Brake Booster check valve. Install the master cylinder on the Brake Booster while tightening mounting nuts to 29 nm (21 ft. Lbs.). Return the electrical connector to its proper place on the Brake Fluid Level Sensor and restore the coolant surge tank into position. Also reconnect the battery negative cable. Finally, program the transmitters.
