BRAKES - BASE
DESCRIPTION - BASE BRAKES
Four-Wheel Disc Antilock Brakes are standard on
all models.
HYDRAULIC/MECHANICAL
DESCRIPTION - DISC BRAKES
All vehicles are equipped with Four-Wheel-Disc
brakes. Both 15º (BRE) and 16º (BR3) disc/disc brake
systems are available. The disc brakes are manufac-
tured by Continental Teves. The BR3 system is stan-
dard equipment on all-wheel drive and all right-hand
drive models. It is optional on other models.
The BR3 system features larger, externally vented
front brake rotors.
Although there are different disc/disc systems, they
are serviced using the same service procedures. Some
specifications differ.
FLUID
STANDARD PROCEDURE - BRAKE FLUID
LEVEL CHECKING
Right hand drive vehicles feature a brake fluid res-
ervoir with the same markings as left hand drive res-
ervoirs.
Check master cylinder reservoir fluid level a mini-
mum of twice annually.
Fluid reservoirs are marked with the words FULL
and ADD to indicate proper brake fluid fill level of
the master cylinder.
If necessary, add brake fluid to bring the level to
the bottom of the FULL mark on the side of the mas-
ter cylinder fluid reservoir.
Use only Mopartbrake fluid or equivalent from a
sealed container. Brake fluid must conform to DOT 3
specifications (DOT 4 or DOT 4+ are acceptable).
DO NOTuse brake fluid with a lower boiling
point, as brake failure could result during prolonged
hard braking.

Use only brake fluid that was stored in a tightly-
sealed container.
DO NOTuse petroleum-based fluid because seal
damage will result. Petroleum based fluids would be
items such as engine oil, transmission fluid, power
steering fluid etc.
MASTER CYLINDER - RHD
DESCRIPTION
The master cylinder used on right hand drive
(RHD) vehicles functions similarly to that used on
left hand drive (LHD) vehicles. The RHD master cyl-
inder, as well as the RHD power brake booster, is
located in the same area, but lower in the engine
compartment than LHD models (Fig. 1). For that
reason an extension manifold is placed between the
fluid reservoir and master cylinder housing allowing
the fluid reservoir to be positioned in the same loca-
tion as on LHD models.
REMOVAL
CAUTION: Vacuum in the power brake booster must
be pumped down (removed) before removing mas-
ter cylinder from power brake booster. This is nec-
essary to prevent the power brake booster from
sucking in any contamination as the master cylin-der is removed. This can be done simply by pump-
ing the brake pedal, with the vehicle's engine not
running, until a firm feeling brake pedal is achieved.
(1) With engine not running, pump brake pedal
until a firm pedal is achieved (4 or 5 strokes).
(2) Disconnect negative battery terminal.
(3) Disconnect positive battery terminal.
(4) Remove battery shield.
(5) Remove nut and clamp securing battery to tray,
remove battery.
(6) Thoroughly clean all surfaces of the brake fluid
reservoir and master cylinder. Use only solvent such
as MopartBrake Parts Cleaner or equivalent.
(7) Remove wiring harness connector from brake
fluid level switch in master cylinder brake fluid res-
ervoir (Fig. 1).
(8) Disconnect primary and secondary brake tubes
from master cylinder housing (Fig. 2). Install sealing
plugs in the now open brake tube outlet ports.
CAUTION: Before removing the master cylinder
from the power brake vacuum booster, the master
cylinder and vacuum booster must be thoroughly
cleaned. This must be done to prevent dirt particles
from falling into the power brake vacuum booster.
(9) Clean area where master cylinder assembly
attaches to power brake booster. Use only a solvent
such as MopartBrake Parts Cleaner or equivalent.
(10) Remove two nuts attaching master cylinder to
power brake booster (Fig. 2).
(11) Slide master cylinder straight out of power
brake booster.

CAUTION: A seal on the rear of the master cylinder
is used to create the seal for holding vacuum in the
power brake vacuum booster. The vacuum seal on
the master cylinder MUST be replaced whenever the
master cylinder is removed from the power brake
vacuum booster.
(12) Remove vacuum seal located on the mounting
flange of the master cylinder. The vacuum seal is
removed from master cylinder bycarefullypulling it
off the rear of master cylinder.Do not attempt to
pry the seal off the master cylinder by inserting
a sharp tool between seal and master cylinder
casting.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Different types of master cylinders are
used on this vehicle depending on brake options. If
a new master cylinder is being installed, be sure it
is the correct master cylinder for the type of brake
system the vehicle is equipped with.
CAUTION: When replacing the master cylinder on a
vehicle, a NEW vacuum seal MUST be installed on
the master cylinder.
(1) Install a NEW vacuum seal on master cylinder
making sure seal fits squarely in groove of master
cylinder casting.
(2) Position master cylinder on studs of power
brake booster, aligning booster push rod with master
cylinder piston.
(3) Install the two master cylinder mounting nuts
(Fig. 2). Tighten both mounting nuts to a torque of
25 N´m (225 in. lbs.).
CAUTION: When tightening the primary and sec-
ondary brake tube nuts at master cylinder, be sure
brake tubes do not contact any other components
within the vehicle and that there is slack in the flex-
ible sections of the tubes. This is required due to
the movement between the ABS ICU and the master
cylinder while the vehicle is in motion.
(4) Connect primary and secondary brake tubes to
master cylinder primary and secondary ports (Fig. 2).
Brake tubes must be held securely when tightened to
control orientation of flex section. Tighten tube nuts
to a torque of 17 N´m (145 in. lbs.).
(5) Install wiring harness connector to brake fluid
level switch mounted in brake fluid reservoir (Fig. 1).
(6) Install battery, clamp and nut.
(7) Install battery shield.
(8) Connect positive battery terminal.
(9) Connect negative battery terminal.(10) Fill master cylinder with clean, fresh Mopart
Brake Fluid or equivalent.
(11) Road test vehicle to ensure proper operation of
brakes.

(3) Remove the retaining clip at the torque shaft
end of the brake pedal-to-torque shaft link. Remove
the link from the torque shaft. Discard the retaining
clip. It is not to be reused. Replace with a new clip
when reassembled.
(4) Locate the booster input rod-to-brake pedal
torque shaft connection and remove the retaining clip
(Fig. 3). Discard the retaining clip. It is not to be
reused. Replace with a new clip when reassembled.
(5) Remove the four (4) brake booster retaining
nuts from inside the passenger compartment (Fig. 4).
(6) Remove the retaining nut from the brake
booster bracket located above the booster in the
engine compartment (Fig. 4).
(7) Remove the power brake booster bracket.
(8) Rotate the pedal torque shaft and remove it out
the left side of the vehicle.
