Brake Master Cylinder: Service Precautions

NOTE: When filling brake fluid reservoir, use only Mopar brake fluid or an equivalent stored in a lightly sealed container. Brake fluid must conform to DOT 3, specifications. Do not use brake fluid with a lower boiling point then DOT 3, as brake failure could result during prolonged hard braking. Do not use petroleum-based fluid because seal damage in the brake system will result.

CAUTION: When clamping the master cylinder in a vise for bleeding, carefully tighten the vise just enough to hold the master cylinder from moving. Excessive pressure can damage the master cylinder.

NOTE: It is not necessary to bleed the entire hydraulic system after replacing the master cylinder, providing that the master cylinder has been bled and filled upon installation.

NOTE: The master cylinder used on this vehicle, has ISO style flares and metric threads on the master cylinder outlet ports. When bleeding master cylinder, it will be necessary to fabricate bleeding tubes with the correct style flares and metric tube nuts.

NOTE: Do not pry off fluid reservoir using a tool; damage to reservoir may result.
