Removal Procedure
Important: Do not wash the proportioning valve in any cleaning solution. The internal
components are lubricated with a special grease.
- Remove the ABS modulator/master cylinder. Refer to
Brake Modulator/Master Cylinder Assembly Replacement
in Antilock Brake System.
- Remove the master cylinder reservoir. Refer to
Master Cylinder Reservoir Replacement
.
- Remove the proportioning
valve caps (1).
- Remove the O-rings (5).
- Remove the springs (2).
- Remove the proportioning valve pistons (3). Carefully use needle
nose pliers. Do not damage the piston stems.
- Remove the proportioning valve seals (4) from the pistons (3).
- Inspect the proportioning valve pistons (3) for corrosion and
deformation. Replace the valve pistons (3) if necessary.
- Clean all of the parts in clean, denatured alcohol.
- Dry the parts. Use non-lubricated compressed air.
Installation Procedure
- Lubricate the following
parts. Use the silicone grease that is supplied in the repair kit:
• | New proportioning valve seals (4) |
• | Proportioning valve piston stems |
- Install new seals (4) on the proportioning valve pistons (3).
Ensure that the seal lips face upward toward the cap.
- Install the proportioning valve pistons (3) and the seals (4)
in the master cylinder body.
- Install the springs (2) in the master cylinder body.
- Install new O-rings (5) in the grooves in the proportioning valve
caps (1).
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners
must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring
replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant
are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or
corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified.
These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage
the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when
installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
- Install the proportioning
valve caps (1) in the master cylinder body.
Tighten
Tighten the proportioning valve caps (1) to 27 N·m (20 lb ft).
- Install the master cylinder reservoir. Refer to
Master Cylinder Reservoir Replacement
.
- Install the ABS modulator/master cylinder. Refer to
Brake Modulator/Master Cylinder Assembly Replacement
in Antilock Brake System.
