Disassembly and Assembly
DISASSEMBLY1. PRECAUTIONS FOR DISASSEMBLING
1. Remove mud and dirt from the surface of brake master cylinder.
2. Prepare tools necessary for disassembly operation, and arrange them neatly on work bench.
3. Clean work bench.
2. DISASSEMBLING PROCEDURE
1. Remove pin with drift pin which secures reserve tank to master cylinder.
2. Remove cylinder pin with magnetic pick-up tool while pushing in primary piston.
3. Pry up the pawl and remove the piston retainer. (Without VDC)
NOTE: Piston may jump out from master cylinder.
4. Using pliers, remove C-ring. (With VDC)
NOTE: Piston may jump out from master cylinder.
5. Extract primary piston assembly and secondary piston assembly.
CAUTION:
- Do not disassemble the piston assembly; otherwise, the spring set value may be changed.
- Use brake fluid or methanol to wash inside wall of cylinder, pistons and piston cups. Be careful not to damage parts when washing. If methanol is used for washing, do not dip rubber parts, such as piston cups, in it for more than 30 seconds; otherwise, they may become swelled.
ASSEMBLY
1. PRECAUTIONS FOR ASSEMBLING
1. When assembling, be sure to use recommended brake fluid.
2. Ensure that the inside wall of cylinder, pistons, and piston cups are free from dirt when assembling.
3. Be extremely careful not to damage, scratch, or dent cylinder inside wall, pistons, and piston cups.
4. Do not drop parts. Never attempt to use any part that has been dropped accidentally.
2. ASSEMBLING PROCEDURE
1. Assembling piston assembly: Apply recommended brake fluid to inside wall of cylinder, and to outer surface of piston assembly, and install piston assemblies carefully into cylinder.
2. Assembling cylinder pin:
3. Press the pawl and install the piston retainer into the master cylinder. (Without VDC)
4. Using pliers, install C-ring in its groove. (With VDC)
CAUTION: Make sure to install it firmly to groove.
5. Install seal to reservoir tank.
6. Install pin with drift pins which secures reservoir tank to master cylinder.
