Booster, Power Brake: Removal: Left-Hand-Drive

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Dodge Journey. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:

Before proceeding, refer to CAUTION  and WARNING .

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.

  1. With the engine not running, pump the brake pedal 4-5 strokes until the pedal feel is firm.
  2. Disconnect the negative (ground) cable from the battery and isolate the cable.
