• 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.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Output Rod Length Inspection

1.

With a handy vacuum pump, apply vacuum pressure of 

−

66.7

kPa (

−

500 mmHg, 

−

19.70 inHg, –0.667 bar) to the brake

booster.

2.

Check the output rod length (A).

Input Rod Length Inspection

1.

Loosen the lock nut (1) and adjust the input rod (2) to the speci-
fied length (B).

2.

Tighten the lock nut to the specified torque.

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Operation

Depress the brake pedal several times at 5-second intervals with the
engine stopped. Start the engine with the brake pedal fully
depressed. Check that the clearance between brake pedal and dash
lower pane decreases.
NOTE:
A slight impact with a small click may be felt on the pedal when the
brake pedal is fully depressed. This is a normal phenomenon due to
the brake system operation.

BRAKE BOOSTER

• Idle the engine for 1 minute to apply vacuum to the brake booster,

and stop the engine. Then depress the brake pedal several times
at 5-second intervals until the accumulated vacuum is released to
atmospheric pressure. Check that the clearance between brake
pedal and dash lower panel gradually increases (A 

→

 B 

→

 C) each

time the brake pedal is depressed during this operation.

• Depress the brake pedal with the engine running. Then stop the

engine while holding down the brake pedal. Check that the brake
pedal stroke does not change after holding down the brake pedal
for 30 seconds or more.
NOTE:
A slight impact with a small click may be felt on the pedal when the
brake pedal is fully depressed. This is a normal phenomenon due
to the brake system operation.

ADJUSTMENT AFTER INSTALLATION

Perform the brake pedal adjustment after installing the brake pedal assembly. Refer to
