G: BREAKAGE OF HOSES
CAUTION:
Although surface layer materials of rubber
hoses have excellent weathering resistance,
heat resistance and resistance for low tem-
perature brittleness, they are likely to be dam-
aged chemically by brake fluid, battery
electrolyte, engine oil and automatic transmis-
sion fluid and their service lives are to be very
shortened. It is very important to keep thehoses free from before mentioned fluids and to
wipe out immediately when the hoses are
adhered with the fluids.
Since resistances for heat or low temperature
brittleness are gradually declining according to
time accumulation of hot or cold conditions for
the hoses and their service lives are shortening
accordingly, it is necessary to perform careful
inspection frequently when the vehicle is used
in hot weather areas, cold weather area and/or
a driving condition in which many steering
operations are required in short time. Particu-

A: REMOVAL
1) Remove or disconnect the following parts at
engine compartment.
(1) Disconnect connector for brake fluid level
indicator.
(2) Remove brake pipes from master cylinder.
(3) Remove master cylinder installing nuts.
(4) Disconnect vacuum hose from brake
booster.
2) Remove the following parts from the pedal
bracket.
(1) Snap pin and clevis pin
(2) Four brake booster installing nuts
3) Remove brake booster while shunning brake
pipes.
B: HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
1) Be careful not to drop brake booster. Brake
booster should be discarded if it has been
dropped.
2) Use special care when handling operating rod.
If excessive force is applied to operating rod, suf-
ficient to cause a change in the angle in excess of
±3É, it may result in damage to the power piston
cylinder.
3) Use care when placing brake booster on the
floor.
CAUTION:
If external force is applied from above when
brake booster is placed in this position, the
resin portion as indicated by ªPº, may be dam-
aged.

4) Do not change the push rod length. If it has
been changed, reset the projected length ªLº to the
standard length.
Standard:
L = 10 mm (0.39 in)

±1 N´m (0.8±0.1 kg-m, 5.8±0.7 ft-lb)
11) Conduct road tests to ensure brakes do not
drag.
D: OPERATION CHECK (WITHOUT
USING GAUGES)
CAUTION:
When checking operation, be sure to securely
apply the hand brake.
1. CHECKING WITHOUT USING GAUGES
This method cannot determine the exact portion
which has failed, but it can provide a rough under-
standing of the nature of the failure if checking is
conducted in accordance with the following proce-
dures.
2. AIR TIGHTNESS CHECK
Start engine, and run it for 1 to 2 minutes, then turn
it off.
Depress brake pedal several times applying the
same pedal force as that used in ordinary braking
operations. The pedal stroke should be greatest on
the 1st depression, and it should become smaller
with each successive depression. If no change
occurs in the pedal height while in a depressed
state, brake booster is faulty.
G4M0744
NOTE:
IIn the event of defective operation, inspect the
condition of the check valve and vacuum hose.
IReplace them if faulty and conduct the test
again.
IIf no improvement is observed, check precisely
with gauges.
