  Q: How to Service and Repair a Brake Booster on Dodge Caliber?

  A:

  Before starting to service or repair the power brake booster on a left-hand drive vehicle, cut and remove the negative Battery Cable. Following this, take out the master cylinder. Take the vacuum hose off the check valve on the power brake booster without removing the check valve. If there is an Air Bag, remove that and the opening cover above the steering column as well. Open the cover behind the steering column and unscrew the mounting screws and reinforcement you find. Take out the switch for the stop lamp. After that, use a screwdriver to release the retaining clip under the center of the push rod, twisting it until the clip moves up over the pedal pin. Throw away the clip and lift the booster push rod up off the brake pedal insert. The last step is to take out the four nuts fastening the power brake booster to the dash panel, move the booster forward so its studs are free of the dash panel and remove it from the front of the engine.

  Q: How to Maintain and Fix a Brake Booster on Dodge Caliber?

  A:

  Begin by disconnecting the battery negative cable from its place on the battery. Remove the master cylinder after that and separate the vacuum hose from the check valve while keeping the valve on the power brake booster intact. Get rid of the steering column opening cover, as well as the Air Bag if you have one, from the instrument panel. Take out the screws that hold the mounting to the reinforcement and cover found behind the steering column. Now, get rid of the stop lamp switch because it cannot be used again. Remove the retaining clip from the link between the power brake booster push rod and the pedal by sliding the small screwdriver under the middle of the clip, then spinning it to free the clip. Once you've removed the clip, slip the booster push rod off the pin on the brake pedal. Afterwards, unscrew the nuts joining the power brake booster to the dash panel, pull the booster forward until its studs come free from the panel and take it out of the engine compartment.
