Removal Procedure
Caution: Do not disturb or remove the screw which retains the primary spring
to the secondary piston. This screw has been set to a predetermined height,
and the performance of the master cylinder will be adversely affected if this
setting is changed. An improperly adjusted screw may result in
poor brake performance and possible personal injury.
Important: The reservoir cap (1) and the diaphragm (3) may be inspected and serviced
without removing the master cylinder from the vehicle.
- Remove the master cylinder. Refer to
Master Cylinder Replacement
In Hydraulic brakes.
- Wipe the reservoir cap (1) clean.
- Remove the reservoir cap
(1) and the diaphragm.
- Replace the reservoir cap and the diaphragm (3) if the following
damage exists:
- Remove the master cylinder reservoir. Refer to
Master Cylinder Reservoir Replacement
.
- Remove the retainer (7) while depressing the primary piston (8).
Use care so that you do not damage the following components:
- Apply low pressure, non-lubricated, compressed air into the upper
outlet port at the blind end of the bore while the other outlet ports are
plugged. Perform the above action in order to remove the following components:
7.2. | Secondary piston (10) |
7.4. | Spring retainer (12) |
- Remove the seals (9) and the spring retainer (12) from the secondary
piston (10).
- Inspect the master cylinder for scoring or corrosion. Replace
the master cylinder if damage exists.
Do not use abrasives in the bore.
- Clean all of the components in clean, denatured alcohol.
- Dry the components with non-lubricated, compressed air.
Installation Procedure
- Install lubricated seals (9) and the spring retainer (12) onto
the secondary piston.
- Install the spring (13) and the secondary piston (10) into the
cylinder bore. Lubricate the parts with clean brake fluid in order to ease
assembly.
- Install the lubricated
primary piston (8) into the cylinder bore.
- While depressing the primary position (8), install the retainer
(7).
- Install the master cylinder reservoir. Refer to
Master Cylinder Reservoir Replacement
.
- Insert the diaphragm (3) into the reservoir cap (1).
Install the cap (1) on the reservoir (4).
- Install the master cylinder. Refer to
Master Cylinder Replacement
In Hydraulic brakes.
