BRAKE SERVICE PROCEDURES FOR 2004 Buick Rainier AUTOMOBILES
Power Brake Units -> Delco Brake Booster -> General Service
Vehicle: 2004 Buick Rainier 5.3 V8 GAS

More seals and valves are used with power brake systems than with ordinary brakes, so an inferior brake fluid will do much more damage. For the same reason, ensure all dirt is kept out of the system. Additionally, on models with hydraulic assist brakes, care must be taken not to mix the fluids of the booster hydraulic system and brake hydraulic system as the fluids are not compatible.
If the power unit fails, the brak...
