D: 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 pis-
ton 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 OPERATION
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 supply valve stopper or cylinder pin:
After installing piston into cylinder, push primary piston in
about 10 mm (0.39 in), using a rod, such as push rod then
assemble gasket and supply valve stopper or cylinder pin.
Tightening torque:
2.2±0.7 N⋅m (0.225±0.075 kg-m, 1.6±0.5 ft-lb)
CAUTION:
If the gasket and supply valve stopper are assembled
without pushing in the primary piston, scratches may
be caused on the secondary piston, and no pressure
may be built up in the secondary side. To avoid such
an error, be sure to push in the primary piston before
assembling these parts.
3) Assembling C-ring:
With primary piston pushed in slightly, attach C-ring by
using C-ring pliers.
NOTE:
After assembling, ensure that the C-ring is fitted securely
in the ring groove.
E: INSTALLATION
To install the master cylinder to the body, reverse the
sequence of removal procedure.

the hand brake.
1. CHECKING WITHOUT USING GAUGES
This method cannot determine the exact portion which has
failed, but it can provide a rough understanding of the
nature of the failure if checking is conducted in accordance
with the following procedures.
