INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

1.

Check the brake hoses and tubes for the following: no scratches; no twist and deformation; no interfer-
ence with other components when steering the steering wheel; no looseness at connections.

2.

Depress the brake pedal with a force of 785 N (80 kg, 176 lb) and hold down the pedal for approximately
5 seconds with the engine running. Check for any fluid leakage.

BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER

CAUTION:

• Depress the brake pedal several times to release the vacuum pressure from the brake booster.

Then remove the master cylinder assembly.

• Never depress the brake pedal after the master cylinder assembly is removed.
• The piston of the master cylinder assembly is exposed. Never damage it when removing the

master cylinder.

• The piston may drop off when pulled out strongly. Never hold the piston. Hold the cylinder body

when handling the master cylinder assembly.

INSTALLATION

CAUTION:

Never spill or splash brake fluid on painted surfaces. Brake fluid may seriously damage paint. Wipe it
off immediately and wash with water if it gets on a painted surface.
Note the following, and install the reverse order of removal.
• Never depress the brake pedal after the master cylinder assembly is removed.
• Apply PBC (Poly Butyl Cuprysil) silicone-based grease to the

brake booster [see (A) in the figure] when installing the master cyl-
inder assembly to the brake booster.

• The piston of the master cylinder assembly is exposed. Never

damage it when handling the master cylinder and check that no dirt
and dust are present on the piston before installation. Clean it with
new brake fluid if necessary.

• The piston may drop off when pulled strongly. Never hold the pis-

ton. Hold the cylinder body when handling the master cylinder
assembly.

• Temporarily tighten the brake tube flare nut to the master cylinder

assembly by hand. Then tighten it to the specified torque with a
crowfoot and torque wrench. Refer to 

BR-22, "FRONT : Exploded View"

.

CAUTION:

Never scratch the flare nut and the brake tube.

• After installation, perform the air bleeding. Refer to 

BR-13, "Bleeding Brake System"

.

CAUTION:

Never reuse drained brake fluid.
