Hi,

This vehicle isn't offered in the US, but I will do my best to help.

The brake booster on this vehicle is located under the hood. The brake master cylinder is attached to the front.

I was able to find a pic of the booster for your vehicle. See pic 1 below.

The pushrod I highlighted will be on the inside of the vehicle and attached to the brake pedal. First, disconnect that.

Next, the mounting bolts for the booster go from under the hood into the passenger compartment. They will be directly behind where the booster is located. Remove the nuts holding the booster. You will remove these from in the vehicle, under the dash. It will be tight. I have two arrows pointing at two of the bolts. There are likely four of them.

Next, you will need to remove the vacuum supply to the booster (hose) and unbolt the brake master cylinder and gently move it forward and off the booster.

Installation is the reverse of removal.

I realize my directions are very basic. However, if you run into trouble, let me know and I'll try my best to help.

Take care,

Joe

Hi,

I'm not 100% sure, but I do not suspect they need to be removed. There should be a clip or other fastener that can be removed to disconnect the brake pedal from the push rod.

Let me know what you find. Also, if you take a picture of where it is attached, I may be able to help better.

Take care,

Joe
