BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER

• 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 installation is the reverse order of removal.

CAUTION:

• 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 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 piston. 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
flare nut torque wrench. Refer to
