MASTER CYLINDER


REMOVAL- RHD

NOTE: Before proceeding, Refer to Service Precautions.

CAUTION: The vacuum in the power brake booster must be pumped down before removing the master cylinder to prevent the booster from sucking in any contamination. This can be done by pumping the brake pedal while the engine is not running until a firm brake pedal is achieved.

1. With the engine not running, pump the brake pedal 4-5 strokes until the pedal feel is firm.
2. Disconnect the negative (ground) cable from the battery and isolate the cable.





INSTALLATION- RHD

NOTE: The master cylinder must be bled before installing it on the vehicle.

1. If removed, install the proportioning valves in their master cylinder ports. The valves are identical, so they can be installed in either master cylinder port going to the rear brakes. Make sure the O-rings on the proportioning valves are new.
2. Bleed the master cylinder before installing it on the vehicle.
3. Inspect and wipe clean the O-ring vacuum seal on the master cylinder rear mounting flange to ensure a good vacuum seal once installation is complete. Replace as necessary.
4. Wipe the face of the power brake booster clean where the master cylinder seal comes in contact when it's installed. Do not get any cleaner or debris inside the booster.
5. Slide the master cylinder assembly straight in the power brake booster.
6. Install the (2) master cylinder retaining nuts. Torque the nuts to 18 Nm (160 in. lbs.).
7. Install the brake lines on the master cylinder. Torque the tube nuts to 17 Nm (145 in. lbs.).





8. Connect the brake fluid level switch wiring connector .
9. Fill the master cylinder to the proper level.
10. Pump the brake pedal several times, then check brake fluid level in master cylinder reservoir. Adjust brake fluid level as necessary.

CAUTION: It will be necessary to bleed the entire base hydraulic system if the brake system has been open to air for an excessive amount of time or air is present in the lines.

11. Check for leaks.
12. Road test the vehicle to ensure proper operation of the brakes.
