 Brake Booster Check Valve replace | Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 162 member | OP  member Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 162 | Hey, like a goon I broke off part of the brake booster check valve - the hose fitting end is now a nub. Does that valve just pull out or do I have to remove the booster unit? I think I can nab one at the JY. Thanks, if you have this info. FSM is silent on the matter. | | | Re: Brake Booster Check Valve replace | Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 2,847 Likes: 42 veteran | | veteran Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 2,847 Likes: 42 | If I remember correctly, it is just a barbed fitting. Careful you don't drop the broke barb inside the booster. ![[Linked Image]](http://info.rockauto.com/getimage/getimage.php?imagekey=1569402&imageurl=http%3A//images.wrenchead.com/smartpages/partinfo_resize/DUS/179-1266.jpg) | | | Re: Brake Booster Check Valve replace | Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 162 member | | OP member Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 162 | Thanks! It is the outside hose fitting part that broke - looks like I can just pull out the old one and replace then? | | | Re: Brake Booster Check Valve replace | Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 2,847 Likes: 42 veteran | | veteran Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 2,847 Likes: 42 | Should pull right out.
Hit it with a hair dryer for a while or the rubber grommet might crack.
BTW that is a generic picture. i could not find the exact one for Dodge. Mine also has another barb for a line leading to my cruise control

If I go to the Pick-a-Part I always over buy.
I'm thinking about Astro van seats - and I need bumpers! | | | Re: Brake Booster Check Valve replace | Joined: Oct 2001 Posts: 28,125 Madman! | | Madman!

It's a check valve and one from a J/Y could be bad. | | | Re: Brake Booster Check Valve replace | Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 868 Likes: 2 old hand | | old hand Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 868 Likes: 2 | Yeah!  that...
