Fluid Reservoir Removal and Installation

NOTE: Before proceeding with this procedure, review applicable Service Precautions.

NOTE: The master cylinder does not need to be removed from the power brake booster for removal and installation of the brake fluid reservoir.

REMOVAL
1. Clean the master cylinder housing and brake fluid reservoir exterior surfaces.
2. Remove the brake fluid reservoir cap. Using a clean syringe or siphoning tool, empty as much brake fluid as possible from the reservoir.
3. Remove the vehicle wiring harness connector from brake fluid level switch in master cylinder brake fluid reservoir.






4. Remove the two plastic pins holding the reservoir to the master cylinder.
5. Lift the reservoir from the master cylinder casting.







6. Remove the grommets sealing the reservoir to the master cylinder housing.

INSTALLATION
1. Install new sealing grommets in the master cylinder housing.
2. Lubricate the sealing grommets with fresh clean DOT 3 brake fluid. Place the reservoir in position over the grommets making sure the filler hole is towards the front of the vehicle. Seat the reservoir into the grommets. While holding the reservoir firmly against the grommets, install the two plastic pins previously removed through their mounting holes until they protrude out the other side of the master cylinder reservoir.
3. Connect the brake fluid level switch wiring connector.
4. Fill the reservoir with fresh clean DOT 3 brake fluid.
