VV
1 st 2nd
OPERATIONAL TEST OF BRAKE BOOSTER
NOTE: lf available, use a brake booster tester to check
the booster operating condition.
1. OPERATING CHECK
(a) Depress the brake pedal several times with the
engine off, and check that there is no change in the
pedal reserve distance.
(b) Depress the brake pedal and start the engine. lf the
pedal goes down slightly, operation is normal.
2. AIR TIGHTNESS
(d Start the engine and stop it after one or two minutes.
Then depress the brake pedal several times slowly. lf
the pedal goes down fartherest the first time, and
less the second and third time, the boo$ter is air
tight.
(b) Depress the brake pedal while the engine is running,
and stop it with the pedal depressed. lf there is no
change in pedal reserve travel after holding the pedal
for thirty seconds, the booster is air tight.
BLEEDING OF BRAKE SYSTEM
NOTE: lf any work is done on the brake system or if air is
suspected in the brake lines, bleed the system of air.
CAUTION: Do not let brake fluid remain on a painted
surface. Wash it off immediataly.
1. FILL BRAKE RESERVOIRS WITH BRAKE FLUID
Check the reservoir after bleeding each wheel. Add fluid, if
necessary.
2, CONNECT VINYL TUBE TO WHEEL CYLINDER
BLEEDER PLUG
lnsert the other end of the tube in a half-full container of
brake fluid.
3. BLEED BRAKE LINE
(a) Slowly pump the brake pedal several times.
(b) While an assistant depresses the pedal, loosen the
bleeder plug until fluid starts to runout. Then close
the bleeder plug.
(c) Repeat this procedure until there are no more air bub-
bles in the fluid.
Bleeder plug tightening torque:
85 kg-cm (74 in.-lb,8.3 N.m)

DISASSEMBLY OF MASTER CYLINDER
1. REMOVE RESERVOIR FROM CYLINDER HOUSING
(a) Remove the cap and strainer.
(d Remove the set screw.
(c) Pull out the reservoir.
2. MOUNT CYLINDER HOUSING IN VISE
3. REMOVE TWO GROMMETS FROM CYLINDER
HOUSING
4. REMOVE PISTON STOPPER BOLT
Using a screwdriver, push the pistons in all the way and
remove the piston stopper'bolt.

BRAKE SYSTEM - Master CylinderBR-11
5. REMOVE TWO PISTONS AND SPRINGS
(d Using a screwdriver and snap ring pliers, remove the
snap ring.
(b) Place a rag on two wooden blocks and lightly tap the
cylinder flange between the blocks until the piston tip
protrudes.
(c) Remove the piston by hand, pulling straight out, not
at an angle.
NOTE: lf pulled out at an angle, there is a possibility of
damaging the cylinder bore.
ASSEMBLY OF MASTER CYLINDER
(See page BR-10)
1. APPLY LITHIUM SOAP BASE GLYCOL GREASE
TO RUBBER PARTS INDICATED BY ARROWS
2. INSTALL TWO SPRINGS AND PISTONS
CAUTION: Be careful not to damage the rubber lips
on the pistons.
(d lnsert the spring and pistons straight in, not at an
angle.
(b) Push in the piston and, using snap ring pliers, install
the snap ring.
INSTALL PISTON STOPPER BOLT
Using a screwdriver, push the pistons in all the way and
install the piston stopper bolt with the gasket. Torque the
bolt.

Push the reservoir onto the cylinder and install the screw.
Torque: 10 - 25 kg-cm
19 - 21 in.-lb, 1.0 - 2.4 N.ml
CAUTION: Because the master cylinder and reser-
voir tank union is a grommet type, the set screw is
designed not to separate from the reservoir or cylinder
and will not tighten down the reservoir. Therefore,
there is a clearance at point A. Do not insert washers
or such when tightening.
