Master Cylinder Reservoir Replacement

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.

NOTE: Do not pry the reservoir off of the master cylinder using a tool such as a screwdriver. The result could be a damaged reservoir.

Removing Fluid Reservoir From Master Cylinder:

3. Rock the brake fluid reservoir from side-to-side while pulling up to remove the reservoir from the master cylinder housing.
4. 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 using a rocking motion, while firmly pressing down on the fluid reservoir. Make sure the bottom of the reservoir touches the top of the grommets.
3. Fill the reservoir with fresh clean DOT 3 brake fluid.
