  Q: How to Properly Install a Brake Booster on Dodge Viper?

  A:

  When putting in the power brake booster, place a new gasket at the rear of the unit. Put the mounting studs on the back of the brake booster through the dash panel's holes, then attach the booster securely to the dash. Put the four nuts in place that join the power brake booster and pedals to the dash panel and tighten them all to 28 Nm (21 ft. lbs.). Rub lubriplate or a similar lubricant on the part of the brake pedal pin that makes contact. Insert the rod from the power brake booster into the pedal pin and add a new retainer clip, not an old one. Connect one vacuum hose from the Intake Manifold to the check valve that is on the booster. Set the master cylinder into place so that you don't reuse the original stop lamp switch; whenever the switch is taken out or its position is changed, another new switch should replace it and be adjusted. Install a fresh brake lamp switch and make the necessary adjustments. Attach the negative cable from the battery, drain the brake system as required and look over the operation of the brakes and stop lamps.

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

  A:

  The vacuum brake booster should be serviced by removing the brake tubes from the master cylinder and then unfastening the two nuts that attach it. Take the master cylinder away from the mounting studs on the booster and unhook the vacuum supply hose at the booster after removing the hose from the vacuum booster check valve, keeping the check valve with the booster. Using a small screwdriver, adjust the center part on the power brake booster's input rod to the brake pedal pin clip underneath, release the old clip and dispose of it, remembering to install a new one. Then, underneath the dash in the steering column and pedal bracket area, remove all four nuts that secure the vacuum booster to the vehicle dash panel. Once the studs on the booster slip out from underneath the dash panel, move the booster unit out, not separating the power brake assembly. When installing, insert a gasket between the vacuum booster and the dash panel, line the studs with the openings in the dash panel and mount the vacuum booster firmly on the cowl panel. Set the torque on all four nuts to 29 Nm (250 inch lbs.), grease the brake pedal bearing point, put the new connector clip between the input rod and pedal pin and double-check that the stop lights are working. Attach the vacuum hose from the Intake Manifold to the check valve on the vacuum booster, sit the master cylinder on the studs of the power brake unit and put the push rod in line with the master cylinder piston before pushing the master cylinder against the power brake booster. Attach the master cylinder to the power brake unit using torqued bolts of 28 Nm (250 inch lbs.). Before bonding the primary and secondary brake tubes, bleed the master cylinder assembly. After that, attach the brake tubes to the master cylinder, using 17 Nm (145 inch lbs.) torque for the nuts.
