Exploded View:
CAUTION:
- Avoid spilling fluid on painted, plastic or rubber parts as it may damage the finish.
- Plug the end of the brake hose with a shop rag to prevent brake fluid from flowing out of the brake hose after disconnecting.
- Use only new clean brake fluid.
- Clean all parts thoroughly with brake fluid. Blow out all passages with compressed air.
- Do not allow foreign matter to enter the system.
- Be careful not to bend or damage the brake pipe when removing the master cylinder.
DISASSEMBLY
Removing Rod Seal:
1. Remove the rod seal.
Snap Ring Removal:
2. Push the secondary piston assembly, then remove the snap ring.
CAUTION: Avoid damaging the master cylinder wall.
3. Remove the stop bolt while pushing in the secondary piston assembly.
Piston Guide Removal:
4. Remove the piston guide, secondary piston assembly and primary piston assembly.
NOTE: If the primary piston assembly is difficult to remove, apply compressed air from the primary piston side outlet.
CAUTION:
- Do not use high pressure air or bring the nozzle too close to the inlet.
- Place a shop rag over the master cylinder to prevent the primary piston from becoming a projectile.
Secondary Spring Screw Removal:
5. Remove the screw from the secondary piston assembly, then remove the secondary spring.
6 Clean all parts with brake fluid.
ASSEMBLY
Primary Piston Cup Assembly:
1. Lubricate new piston assemblies with brake fluid, then fit them together.
Piston Guide Assembly:
Secondary Piston Assembly:
2. Install the piston assemblies in the master cylinder.
NOTE: To ease assembly, rotate the pistons while inserting.
Stop Bolt Installation:
3. Install the stop bolt and new sealing washer while pushing in the secondary piston assembly, then tighten the stop bolt.
Snap Ring Installation:
4. Install the snap ring while pushing in the secondary piston assembly.
Removing Rod Seal:
5. Install a new rod seal.
CAUTION: When connecting the brake pipes, make sure that there is no interference between the brake pipes and other parts.
NOTE: Master cylinder pushrod-to-piston clearance must be checked and adjustments made, if necessary, before installing master cylinder.
