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

  A:

  Before doing any service or repair on the vacuum brake booster, make sure to remove the wire from the fluid level switch at the bottom of the booster. After that, take out the master cylinder. After disconnecting the hoses from the booster check valve, take the Brake Lines off the master cylinder and HCU in ABS trucks, since you need to clear them afterward. Disconnect the HCU from where it's mounted and relocate it to the side so there is space for the booster. Eliminate the knee blocker under the steering wheel and then remove and toss out the Brake Light Switch. Take off the clip holding the booster push rod to the brake pedal and release the nuts that join the booster to the dashboard panel. To finish, pull the booster studs from the dash panel, lift the booster tructure a bit and remove it from the engine compartment.

  Q: How to Install a Brake Booster on Dodge Nitro?

  A:

  Place and adjust the brake booster on the dash panel of a left-hand drive car, then fit and secure the booster nuts (1). Make sure to put Mopar multi-mileage grease on the pedal pin before you install anything. Slip the booster push rod onto the brake pedal and clip it into place using the retaining clip. Fasten the booster mounting nuts (1) to 25 Nm (220 in. lbs.), after which install a new brake lamp switch and link the electrical connector properly. Add the knee blocker to the bed. If the original cylinder is in place, inspect its seal at the rear close to the reservoir. You should replace the seal if it is cut or torn. Rub a shop towel that's been wet with brake cleaner over the brake booster cylinder mounting surface, as this will prevent unpleasant vacuum leaks. Attach the master cylinder to the booster studs and then put in the mounting nuts and tighten them to a torque of 25 Nm (220 in. lbs.). Connect the vacuum hose to the booster check valve (1), replace the HCU and tighten the mounting nuts of the bracket to 14 Nm (125 in. lbs.). Match the Brake Lines (4) to the HCU or junction block and the master cylinder, but do not use a wrench at this point; twist the fittings with your hands to avoid twisting them while starting. Screw the wire into the fluid level switch (3) which is located at the bottom of the reservoir (2). After that, fill and pump the base brake fluid system and test the brakes before transporting the vehicle.
