Transcript:
Chock your wheels and set the parking brake.
Pop the hood and disconnect the negative battery terminal. Set it aside someplace where it isn’t touching metal.
You’ll need to relieve the vacuum pressure that exists in the system so you can disconnect the vacuum line and separate the master cylinder from the booster.
To do this, pump your brake pedal a few times with the engine off.
Once the pedal firms up, you’re good to go.
Locate your power brake booster, which should be right against the back wall of your engine compartment on the driver’s side.
Before removing the booster, you’ll have to remove the master cylinder, which is directly in front of it.
In some vehicles, you can just move the master cylinder to the side.
If you are able to move the master cylinder to the side, there’s no need to unhook the brake hydraulic lines.
And if you don’t need to remove the hydraulic brake lines, the job won’t take as long because you won’t have to bleed the brake system.
If you do need to remove the brake lines, leave the master cylinder cap on and remove the master cylinder from the booster.
There’s no need to remove the fluid.
Hold your fingers over the holes as you remove it from the vehicle to make sure no brake fluid drips on anything.
Next, remove the electrical cable leading to the brake fluid reservoir. This can be done by hand.
Remove the clip that secures the connector and push the tab to release it.
Use the proper brake line flare wrench to disconnect the brake fluid lines and unscrew the mounting nuts with your ratchet and socket.
Once you’ve removed the master cylinder, tip it over your drain pan to allow any remaining fluid to drain.
Keep in mind that brake fluid spills will damage painted surfaces, so if this happens, flush it with water immediately.
If your vehicle has antilock brakes, you’ll also want to disconnect the brake line from the hydraulic control unit, or HCU, and remove this component so it’s out of the way.
Inspect the seal at the end of the master cylinder… there should be no signs of brake fluid seepage.
If you see fluid, there is a leak.
If this is not corrected, the new booster will be damaged by allowing brake fluid inside the vacuum chamber and deteriorating the vacuum diaphragm.
So, if the master cylinder seal does show signs of seepage, the master cylinder needs to be replaced.
With the master cylinder out of the way, you can turn your attention to the brake booster.
Inside the vehicle, tilt your steering wheel up and remove the knee blocker to give you easier access.
Your brake pedal attaches to a push rod that leads directly to the booster.
Detach the retaining clip that connects the two components.

Nice quick presentation.
that top right bolt of the brake booster is the devil!!
Thanks for the help
If I wanted to hear someone talk me through it, I would have read the repair manual out loud..
This is the Best video straight to it thank you
I did it all but now I have no brakes at all ? Car does not have any pressure
Had never done it before. Totally a great simple to the point explanation.
I have to tippy toe my brakes just to start braking, I almost crashed because I got too used to the gas pedal
What about adjusting the pin? Does Oreilly have a loaner pin adjustment tool?
Good video! Can you use a regular wrench with a rag on a line fitting if you don't have a line wrench?
You never adjusted the brake booster pin. This can lead to the breaks locking up, or lack of breaks.
Hello Sir my car have a many problems will fix that
Nice sharing… Thank you from Malaysia
Great video, thanks!
O'Reilly's thank you,
Chris… you the man!
Porque se escucha que raspan despues de ser instalados
LOL and the cheap after market booster wont line up in firewall then you have to bench bleed the master then you will have tons of air in the system and will need to tow it to a shop to use a power bleeder and if air gets in the ABS modual you will need a scan tool etc ! What a dumb video !
2003 Ford Taurus is not that easy because part of the frame is blocking it from coming out but thank you, anyways. It looks like he has new master cylinder but he didn't bench bleed it or bleed it in anyway, isn't it necessary to bleed it or can you just bleed it though the brakes?
My question here hope u can help me my car brakes locks up so when I disconnect the check valve from the booster u hear air released and brakes gets released immediately I replaced the valve with a dealer one and still the same also replaced master cylinder pads rotors and calipers any idea will help me a lot and thank you
Don’t forget to adjust push rod on brake booster or you may end up with soft pedal or locked up brakes.
THEY HURTED MY FEELING TOGTHLER IM BELINAY TUNCELOWEQOWEQ
A new vacuum hose solved my problem. I sliced open the old hose and found the interior lining had softened and separated from the outer part. Vacuum from the engine would suck it shut like a one way valve. It looked and felt fine from the outside. So, after you replace your booster, if you still have trouble then spend 29¢ cents for a foot of vacuum hose. Cut open the old one and you'll see what I mean.
Fuel system cleaners are commonly fed into the intake using the brake booster hose. The previous owner of my car may have done this; dissolving and softening the inner lining of the vacuum hose.
This is a great example. I feel confident doing this now. The last "tutorial I watched made it look impossible.
Great video! Thank you.
Trying changing a booster on a 2003 Saab ! The main bolts that hold up the booster is behind the booster and not by the brake pedal.
Good forgot to say made should the booster gasket is in place
