• Q: How to install the brake booster assembly on 2008 Toyota Matrix?

  A: Begin brake booster assembly installation by inserting the grommet before verifying the valve assembly followed by placing the new brake booster gasket onto the assembly. First install the push rod clevis followed by the lock nut and adjust the brake pedal height before torquing the nut. Fasten the brake booster assembly with 4 nuts which need a torque setting of 12.7 Nm (130 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf) before adding 2 or 3 brake tubes to the clamp. Attach the vacuum hose to the brake booster assembly while using Special Service Tool: 09023-00101 to connect front brake tube No. 5 and tighten it to 15 Nm (155 kgf-cm, 11 ft-lbf). Make sure the grommet sits properly at its installed position. Fasten the front wheel LH using a torque of 103 Nm (1,050 kgf-cm, 76 ft-lbf) before joining the brake master cylinder push rod clevis. Start by mounting the air cleaner element followed by securing 3 bolts to join the brake master cylinder sub-assembly with the air cleaner case sub-assembly. After installing the air cleaner cap sub-assembly you need to add brake fluid to its reservoir. Vehicle operators should start the bleeding process by draining fluid from both the brake master cylinder and the brake line. Verify the brake pedal height and free play and reserve distance operations before checking the reservoir fluid level. Conduct an inspection of the brake fluid leak locations as well as the brake booster assembly to make sure everything operates as intended.
