• Apply silicone grease to the brake booster [see (A) in the figure]

when installing the master cylinder 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.

• Never deform or bend the brake tubes.
• Temporarily tighten the brake tube flare nut to the master cylinder

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

BR-20, "FRONT : Exploded View"

.

CAUTION:

Never scratch the flare nut and the brake tube.

• Never allow foreign matter (e.g. dust) and oils other than brake fluid to enter the reservoir tank.
• After installation, perform the air bleeding. Refer to 

BR-11, "Bleeding Brake System"

assembly process.

• Never drop the when installing. The parts must not be reused if they are dropped.
• Never allow foreign matter (e.g. dust) and oils other than brake fluid to enter the reservoir tank.

1.

Apply new brake fluid to the grommet and install it to the cylinder body.

CAUTION:

Never reuse the grommets.

2.

Install the reservoir tank to the cylinder body.

3.
