(5) Remove reservoir by rocking it to one side and
pulling free of grommets (Fig. 19).
(6) Remove old grommets from cylinder body (Fig.
20).
(7) Lubricate new grommets with clean brake
fluid.

grommets.
CAUTION: Do not use any type of tool to install the
grommets. Tools may cut, or tear the grommets cre-
ating a leak problem after installation. Install the
grommets using finger pressure only.(9) Start reservoir in grommets. Then rock reser-
voir back and forth while pressing downward to seat
it in grommets.

MASTER CYLINDER AND COMBINATION VALVE
INSTALLATION (WITH ABS)
(1) Bleed master cylinder on bench before installa-
tion. Refer to procedure in this section.
(2) If new master cylinder is being installed, re-
move plastic protective sleeve from primary piston
shank.
(3) If original master cylinder is being installed,
check condition of seal at rear of master cylinder
(Fig. 22). Clean and reposition seal if dislodged. Re-
place seal if cut, or torn.
(4) Clean cylinder mounting surface of brake
booster (Fig. 23). Use shop towel wetted with brake
cleaner for this purpose. Dirt, grease, or similar ma-
terials will prevent proper cylinder seating and could
result in vacuum leak.
(5) If new master cylinder is being installed,re-
move plastic protective sleeve from piston
shank before installation.
(6) Position master cylinder on booster studs (Fig.
24). Then install and tighten cylinder attaching nuts
to 25 Nzm (220 in. lbs.) torque.

stud closest to driver side fender (Fig. 25). Then in-
stall bracket attaching nut but do not fully tighten
nut at this time.
(c) Connect flex lines to HCU. Start lines by
hand to avoid cross threading.

hoses to manifold fittings.
(15) Install air cleaner housing, filter, cover, and
hose.

The bench bleeding procedure for both master cyl-
inder types is basically the same. The only difference,
is that both bleed tubes go in the same filler neck
opening on cylinders with the nylon reservoir.
(1) On models with integral master cylinder, fill
each reservoir to within 6 mm (1/4 in.) of rim. On
two-piece cylinder, fill reservoir to FULL mark.
(2) Fabricate and install master cylinder bleed
tubes. Be sure tube ends are submerged in brake
fluid. Tubes can be fabricated from rubber hose, or
copper tubing and spare brakeline fittings.
(3) Using push rod or wooden dowel (Fig. 26),
stroke cylinder pistons fully into bore;then allow pis-
tons to return under spring pressure. Repeat this op-
eration until air bubbles cease to appear in fluid.
(4) Remove bleed tubes, cap outlet ports, and in-
stall reservoir cap, or cover and seal.

bly, position bracket on studs and install attaching
nuts. Tighten nuts to 10-13 Nzm (92-112 in. lbs.)
torque.

air gap should be 0.40 to 1.3 mm (0.0157 to 0.051
in.). If gap is incorrect, the sensor is either loose, or
damaged.
A rear sensor air gap adjustment is only needed
when reinstalling an original sensor. Replacement
sensors have an air gap spacer attached to the sensor
pickup face. The spacer establishes correct air gap
when pressed against the tone ring during installa-
tion. As the tone ring rotates, it peels the spacer off
the sensor to create the required air gap. Rear sensor
air gap is 0.92-1.45 mm (0.036-0.057 in.).
Sensor air gap measurement, or adjustment proce-
dures are provided in this section. Refer to the front,
or rear sensor removal and installation procedures as
required.
