Brake Master Cylinder Assembly

Removal

1. Drain the brake fluid (

See page 26-13

).

2. Remove the air filter assembly (

See page 10-17

).

3. Remove the brake master cylinder assembly. 

a. Loosen the brake fluid tube fixing clamp (arrow) and 

disengage the brake fluid tube from brake fluid 
reservoir assembly.

b. Loosen the clutch hose fixing clamp (arrow) and 

disengage the clutch hose from brake fluid reservoir 
assembly (for only MT model).

CAUTION

 Remove the vacuum remained in vacuum booster before removing brake master cylinder assembly to 

avoid damaging brake master cylinder assembly and prevent booster from sucking in any pollutant.

 When engine is not running, remove vacuum by depressing brake pedal repeatedly until the brake pedal 

can be depressed firmly. 

 When removing brake line, sealing measures should be taken to prevent foreign matter from entering.

CAUTION

 Wash off brake fluid immediately if it comes in contact with any paint surface.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

 Drained brake fluid should be well kept in a container. Never discard it at will.

c. Loosen 2 coupling plugs (arrow) between brake 

master cylinder assembly and brake pipes.



(Tightening torque: 16 ± 2 N·m)

d. Loosen 2 coupling nuts (arrow) between brake master 

cylinder assembly and vacuum booster. 



(Tightening torque: 21 - 25 N·m)

e. Carefully and vertically slide the brake master cylinder assembly out of vacuum booster.
f. Remove the coupling bolt (arrow) between brake fluid 

reservoir assembly and brake master cylinder 
assembly.



(Tightening torque: 3 - 5 N·m)

g. Disengage the connection between brake fluid 

reservoir assembly and brake master cylinder 
assembly, and remove the brake fluid reservoir 
assembly.

Installation

Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

CAUTION

 Brake master cylinder assembly and piston are designed to make piston fall out easily. To prevent this, 

make sure brake master cylinder is horizontal or end surface downward (piston surface facing upward) 
when handling the brake master cylinder assembly.

 Make sure that no foreign matter adheres to brake master cylinder assembly piston. If foreign matter 

adheres, clean it off with a piece of clean cloth. Then, apply grease to entire outer edge contact surface 
of master cylinder piston. 

 Master cylinder should be handled carefully. Avoid any impact to the master cylinder, such as falling. The 

fallen master cylinder cannot be reused.

 DO NOT tap or pinch master cylinder piston, and avoid damaging master cylinder piston in any other 

ways.

CAUTION

 Make sure to tighten coupling plugs and nuts to the specified torque during installation. 
 Perform bleeding procedures for brake system and add brake fluid to the proper level after completing 

installation.
