Master Cylinder Reservoir Replacement LHD

1. Remove the electrical connector (2) from the fluid level sensor.
2. Drain the brake fluid from the master cylinder reservoir.



3. Tap back the pins until clear of reservoir. Be careful not to damage the reservoir or master cylinder. If needed, loosen or remove the strut cross bar for access; refer to Front Suspension.



4. Remove the reservoir.
5. Remove the seals.
6. Inspect the reservoir for cracks or deformities. If found, replace the reservoir.
7. Clean the reservoir with clean denatured alcohol and dry the reservoir with unlubricated compressed air.

1. Lubricate the new seals and the reservoir bayonets with clean brake fluid.
2. Install the seals, making sure they are fully seated.
3. Install the reservoir onto the master cylinder by pressing straight down by hand until pin holes are aligned.



4. Tap in pins to retain reservoir. Be careful not to damage the reservoir or master cylinder. If strut cross bar had been loosened or removed, reinstall; refer to Strut Assembly Replacement in Front Suspension.



5. Fill the master cylinder reservoir to full level mark using only Delco® Supreme II Brake fluid, or equivalent DOT 3 brake fluid (DOT 4 for Europe), as specified in Maintenance and Lubrication.
6. Install the electrical connector (2) to fluid sensor.
