VALVE ASSEMBLY
REMOVAL
1.
Disconnect the brake warning
light wire from the pressure differen-
tial valve assembly switch (Figs. 17
thru 21). To prevent damage to the
brake warning switch wire connector,
expand the plastic lugs to allow re-
moval of the shellwire connector from
the switch body.
2.
Loosen the tube nuts connecting
the primary and secondary inlet and
outlet tubes at the pressure differential
valve assembly and remove the tubes.

mounting bracket.
5.
If the differential valve is to be
replaced, remove the brake warning
lamp switch and install the switch in
the new differential valve. The pres-
sure differential valve assembly, the
brake warning lamp switch, and the
proportioning valve are separate units
and each is serviced as a separate as-
sembly only.
INSTALLATION
1.
On disc brake equipped vehicles,
connect the proportioning valve inlet
and outlet tubes to the proportioning
valve and differential valve bodies.

BRAKE BOOSTER
REMOVAL
1.
Working from inside the\ vehicle
below the instrument panel, disconnect
the booster push rod from the brake
pedal assembly. To do this, proceed as
follows:
Disconnect the stop light switch
wires at the connector. Remove the
hairpin retainer. Slide the stop light
switch off from the brake pedal pin
just far enough for the switch outer
hole to clear the pin, and then remove
the switch from the pin and booster
push rod. Be careful not to damage
the switch during removal. Slide the
booster push rod and the nylon wash-
ers and bushing off the brake pedal
pin (Figs. 29 thru 33).
2.
Open the hood and remove the
master cylinder from the booster. Se-
cure it to one side without disturbing
the hydraulic lines. It is not necessary
to disconnect the brake lines, but care
should be taken that the brake lines
are not deformed. Permanent defor-
mation of brake lines can lead to tube
failure.
3.
Disconnect the manifold vacuum
hose or hoses from the booster unit.
4.
Remove the booster-to-dash
panel attaching nuts or bolts (Figs. 29
thru 33). Remove the booster and

inder, check the distance from the
outer end of the booster assembly
push rod to master cylinder surface.
Turn the screw in or out to obtain the
specified length. Refer to Part 2-1,
Section 2, Power Brake Master Cylin-
der Push Rod Adjustment. Install the
master cylinder and torque the attach-
ing nuts to specifications.
5.
Working from inside the vehicle
below the instrument panel, connect
the booster push rod link to the brake
pedal assembly. To do this, proceed as
follows:
