WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Before proceeding, (Refer to BRAKES - WARNING) (Refer to BRAKES - CAUTION) .

CAUTION: The vacuum in the power brake booster must be pumped down before removing the master cylinder to prevent the booster from sucking in any contamination. This can be done by pumping the brake pedal while the engine is not running until a firm brake pedal is achieved.

With the engine not running, pump the brake pedal 4-5 strokes until the pedal feel is firm.
If applicable to access battery negative terminal, unclip the air cleaner cover (two clips) and move the cover aside.
Remove the air cleaner housing by pulling straight up.
Disconnect the negative (ground) cable from the battery and isolate the cable.
Unlatch the power distribution center, lift it up, and move it to the side.
