Q: How to replace the power vacuum brake booster on GMC Acadia?
A: Park the vehicle on a flat spot and put the parking brake on before you began working. Before starting the replacement press and release the brake pedal until it becomes hard to use all the vacuum reserve. Take out the air filter assembly and the windshield washer solvents container from its compartment. Detach the master cylinder fluid level sensor electrical connection before removing the vacuum Brake Booster's check valve and hose units along with its vacuum sensor. Move the 2 brake pipes free from their routing clip on the frame rails. Then take off the bpmv valve's 2 nuts without disconnecting the pipes. Move the bpmv assembly forward when above the studs before removing its 2 master cylinder nuts yet keeping brake tubes connected. Set the master cylinder assembly on mechanics wire stands to maintain its upright position. Uninstall the left panel insulator and driver knee bolster from their places. Disconnect the brake pedal pushrod components by removing the clip and clevis pin. Take away the steering module and secure the 4 Brake Booster bolts. Shift the vacuum Brake Booster up and forward for the mounting studs to exit underneath the dash panel before you detach the vacuum Brake Booster. Check the vacuum Brake Booster gasket for damage against the dash panel and replace it when necessary. Thread the mounting studs of the vacuum Brake Booster onto the dash panel and fasten it with 4 nuts tightened to 25 nm (18 lb ft). Fit the intermediate Steering Shaft back in place and attach the brake pedal pushrod to its pedal base before setting the clevis pin with its retaining clip. Closely fit the driver knee bolster and left panel insulator so the master cylinder seal connects correctly with the vacuum Brake Booster while checking for damage. Check the Brake Master Cylinder seal connection to the vacuum booster unit and replace if detected damaged before installing both Brake Master Cylinder nuts at 20 nm torque. Carefully place the bpmv assembly over the studs while installing both bpmv nuts to their bracket. Tighten them to 20 nm (15 lb ft). Reattach the brake pipes through their path to the frame rail routing clip before reconnecting the master cylinder fluid level sensor power connection. You should attach the vacuum Brake Booster vacuum sensor and vacuum Brake Booster check valve and hose assembly to their proper positions on the vacuum Brake Booster. Put back the windshield washer solvent heater and the air cleaner unit last.
Q: How to replace the vacuum brake booster on GMC Sierra 1500?
A: The replacement process starts by applying the parking brake then blocking the wheels. Unplug the vacuum hose that connects the Brake Booster check valve as you disconnect the Brake Master Cylinder from its position. First remove the Pushrod retaining clip from the brake pedal stud then take off the stop lamp switch and the Pushrod from the same stud. Take out the vacuum booster while discarding its gasket by removing all four booster mounting nuts. Set a new gasket over the booster before installing the vacuum booster unit. Secure the 4 vacuum booster mounting nuts by tightening them to 33 nm (24 ft. Lbs.). Resume connection between Pushrod and the stop lamp switch through their matching point on the brake pedal stud while inserting the Pushrod retaining clip . Join the vacuum hose to the Brake Booster check valve then put back the master cylinder. End your process by letting go of the park brake then free the wheels.
Q: How to replace the power vacuum brake booster on GMC Yukon?
A: You need to apply the parking brake and exhaust the pressure in the vacuum reserve by pressing the pedal three times until it feels solid. Pull off the power vacuum Brake Booster electrical connections for dod sensor and active booster before removing the vacuum hose attached to the check valve as well as both master cylinder nuts with the original o-ring vacuum seal sticking to the master cylinder. Securely fasten the master cylinder in place using strong mechanics wire. Take out the Brake Booster pushrod retainer bolt followed by its retainer part and remove the stoplamp switch. Unplug the Brake Booster pushrod from its spot at the Brake Pedal and uninstall the Brake Booster nuts before removing the power vacuum Brake Booster along with the discarded gasket. One person should insert the new Brake Booster gasket while another helper joins in to install the power vacuum Brake Booster properly. First bolt the Brake Booster nut on its top right side then install all Brake Booster nuts to 33 nm (24 lb ft). Put the Brake Booster pushrod onto the Brake Pedal pivot pin while adding the stoplamp switch and brake pushrod retainer. Secure the retainer bolt with 10 nm of torque. Click the vacuum hose to its preinstalled check valve and join electrical wires to both the dod sensor and booster connector. Put the master cylinder back into position before tightening both master cylinder nuts to 33 nm (24 lb ft).
