  Q: How to install the brake booster assembly on 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.

  Q: How to remove the vacuum brake booster on Toyota Matrix?

  A:

  The beginning of removing the vacuum brake booster requires brake booster vacuum emptying followed by master cylinder removal. The first step includes removing the front wheel LH after which the technician should remove the front wiper arm head cap and the front wiper arm and blade assembly LH and RH. You must disconnect the windshield Wiper Motor and link assembly before removing the hood to cowl top seal and cowl top ventilator louver RH and LH. The technical tasks include separating the outer cowl top panel from the suspension tower damper assembly with front strut bar and the No. 2 cylinder head cover (applies to 2ZR-FE models only). The work order involves discarding the air cleaner cap sub-assembly with hose (for 2ZR-FE) and the air cleaner case (for 2ZR-FE) followed by the No. 1 engine cover sub-assembly (for 2AZ-FE) then the air cleaner cap sub-assembly with hose (for 2AZ-FE) and finally the air cleaner case (for 2AZ-FE). The brake fluid needs to be drained after which the clutch tube needs to be disconnected (for Manual Transaxle) before removing the Brake Master Cylinder sub-assembly. You should remove the brake pedal return spring followed by separating the brake master cylinder push rod clevis before disengaging the vacuum hose through its clip. The brake booster assembly needs its brake vacuum check valve assembly and its check valve grommet to be taken out. A union nut wrench (10 mm) can be used to disconnect the No. 5 front brake tube. After that remove the grommet and No. 5 front brake tube from the body. To finalize the procedure you should separate the Brake Lines from the body by taking off their clamps then unfasten the 4 nuts before extracting the brake booster assembly without causing any damage to the brake or fuel lines. The brake booster assembly requires the removal of its gasket for brake booster gasket removal while simultaneous relaxation of the lock nut for removal of the brake master cylinder push rod clevis and lock nut.
