2008 Toyota Solara Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the vacuum brake booster on 2008 Toyota Solara?

  A: The first step for maintenance of vacuum brake booster requires you to drain brake fluid while wiping away any spilled fluid from painted parts. The service begins by taking off the air cleaner assembly while simultaneously unattaching the brake master cylinder sub-assembly. You must disconnect the vacuum hose assembly through removal of the clip while separating it from the brake booster assembly. The No. 5 front brake line must be extracted using Special Service Tool: 09023-00101. Both Coupe and Convertible require different part removals where Coupe requires front door scuff plate LH and cowl side trim sub-assembly LH but Convertible needs removal of the same components for their respective parts. The technician should remove the instrument panel finish lower panel from the left-hand side. To start the procedure remove the brake pedal return spring then detach the push rod pin after removing its clip. A mechanic can remove a brake master cylinder push rod clevis after loosening the push rod lock nut. The brake booster assembly needs to be removed by unfastening 4 nuts before carefully extracting it while guarding against brake line or wire harness harm so the brake booster gasket can be taken out.
