Installation Notes

Verify master cylinder compatibility before installation, since the master cylinder is not included. Confirm pedal rod length, stud thread size, and mounting layout against the original unit. Because this booster is remanufactured, inspect the vacuum source, check all sealing surfaces, and replace any worn brake system components during service.
