• Q: How to service and repair the vacuum brake booster on 2000 Toyota Corolla?

  A: The vacuum brake booster service requires removal of the master cylinder followed by disconnecting the vacuum hose from the brake booster together with uninstalling the pedal return spring. The break-up of this procedure starts with removing the clip and wave washer and clevis pin followed by extracting the brake booster after undoing its 4 nuts and clevis then pulling out the brake booster along with its gasket. For installation start by putting the new brake booster in place with its gasket before hooking up the operating rod to the clevis followed by tightening its booster installation nuts to 13 Nm (130 kgf-cm and 9 ft. lbs). Drive the clevis pin through the wave washer and the clevis before setting it with the clip then place back the pedal return spring. To adjust the booster push rod length position the gasket on the master cylinder while setting Special Service Tool: 09737-00010 on it and continue lowering the pin until it touches the piston slightly. Set the Special Service Tool: 09737-00010 upside facing downward upon the booster to measure the clearance between the booster push rod and pin head at 0 mm (0 inch). Lengthen the booster push rod until it touches the pin head by depressing the brake pedal sufficient enough during the adjustment process. The next installation steps encompass placing the master cylinder while users connect the vacuum hose to the brake booster before filling brake reservoir tubes with brake fluid before concluding the process with brake system bleeding. Inspect for any signs of leakage followed by brake pedal adjustment while securing the clevis lock nut at 26 Nm (260 kgf-cm, 19 ft. lbs.). Afterward complete the operational examination.
