• Q: How to Ensure Proper Installation of the Brake Booster on 2006 Cadillac CTS?

  A: The first step in vacuum Brake Booster replacement is to put together j 22805-b (Brake Booster Holder). First remove the left insulator cover and then take out the vacuum Brake Booster Pushrod retaining clip along with the Pushrod from the Brake Pedal setup. Set the master cylinder aside safely by taking it off its connection to the booster without disconnecting brake pipes if needed. Once you access the vacuum Brake Booster you can open its locking tab by taking off the air inlet grille panel. Drain coolant from the surge tank inlet hose but leave it attached before removing its tank bolts. Turn the coolant surge tank bolts loose and move it aside before reconnecting the inlet tube to avoid coolant leakage. You must attach the j 22805-b device through the master cylinder retaining nuts to the vacuum Brake Booster check valve. Deactivate the locking tab on the cowl using a flat-blade tool then remove the booster with a ratchet on j 22805-b while turning it counterclockwise. You need to raise the vacuum Brake Booster from its cowl mounting flange and support it before pushing the foam filter forward to get to the retaining clip. Raise the taller edge of the retaining clip upwards to take out the vacuum Brake Booster Pushrod from the unit. Install the booster without damaging its internal parts and the ledge locking system. Push the vacuum Brake Booster onto the Pushrod and keep pushing until the retaining clip engages its position. Rotate the booster clockwise to connect it before using the j 22805-b on the ratchet without a flat blade. Press the booster into place until the locking feature reaches total activation. Reconnect the vacuum hose and check valve assembly after you take off the j 22805-b and put back the coolant surge tank. Place the vacuum Brake Booster Pushrod into its slot and rotate it counterclockwise to install the retaining clip on top. Next, put on the air inlet grille panel as well as integrate the master cylinder, cross vehicle brace (if needed), and left closeout/insulator panel.
