CTS V8-5.7L VIN P (2004)
Installation Procedure
Notice: Internal components of this booster are not serviceable. The housing must not be unstaked and separated. Separating the housing will cause
permanent deformation, preventing the booster from holding proper volume.
Notice: Inspect the locking flanges on booster and mounting plate. Replace the booster and mounting plate if the locking flanges are bent or
damaged.
1. Carefully install the vacuum brake booster to the vacuum brake booster pushrod (3).
2. Important: Ensure that the long leg of the retainer clip is in the machined groove of the pushrod (3).
Carefully push the vacuum brake booster pushrod on to the vacuum brake booster until the long leg of the retaining clip seats into the machined
groove of the pushrod.
3. Position the vacuum brake booster on the cowl counterclockwise from the final installation position so that the locking flanges on the vacuum
brake booster and on the cowl mounting flange engage.
4. Important: Ensure that the locking tab and the flanges are in the fully engaged position.
Turn the vacuum brake booster clockwise with a ratchet on the J 22805-B (2). DO NOT use a flat bladed tool in the locking tab to install the
vacuum brake booster. When the vacuum brake booster is correctly installed, the locking tab (1) slides up the flange and engages the locking
notch.
5. Remove the J 22805-B (2) from the installed vacuum brake booster.
6. Reposition and connect the vacuum hose and check valve assembly to the vacuum brake booster.
