INSTALLATION
NOTE:
See NOTE at the beginning of this section.
1) When using new grommets, lubricate them with the same fluid
as the one to fill reservoir with. Then press-fit grommets to mas-
ter cylinder. Grommets must be seated in place.
2) Install reservoir and drive in reservoir pin.
NOTE:
Drive in reservoir pin till both of its ends at the right and left
or reservoir becomes the same length.
3) Connect reservoir lead wire.
4) Fill reservoir with specified fluid.
5) Upon completion of installation, check for fluid leakage.

DISASSEMBLY
1) Remove reservoir pin and reservoir.
2) Remove circlip.
3) For vehicle with ABS
Pull out primary piston assembly straight so as not to cause any
damage to inside of cylinder wall.
Pull out secondary piston assembly straight so as not to cause
any damage to inside of cylinder wall and by tapping flange with
a piece of wood or something soft.
3') For vehicle without ABS
Remove piston stopper bolt. Then remove secondary piston by
blowing compressed air into hole from which piston stopper bolt
was removed.
Be cautious during removal as secondary piston jumps out.

5) Apply thin coat of brake fluid to all around new grommets (2pcs.)
and install them to cylinder body, then install reservoir.
6) Set a new pin in reservoir hole and drive it in. At this time, make
end of pin and end face margin of reservoir equal.
INSTALLATION
NOTE:

See NOTE at the beginning of this section.

Adjust clearance between booster piston rod and primary
piston with special tool, referring to CLEARANCE BETWEEN
BOOSTER PISTON AND MASTER CYLINDER PISTON AD-
JUSTMENT in this section.
1) Install master cylinder to brake booster.
2) Tighten master cylinder attaching nuts to specification.

3) Connect brake pipes to master cylinder.

For vehicle with ABS
a) Connect brake pipes between master cylinder and ABS hy-
draulic unit.
b) For LH steering vehicle, connect ABS control module con-
nector.
c) For RH steering vehicle, install ABS hydraulic unit bracket
bolts and tighten it to specified torque.

5) Connect reservoir lead wire.
6) Fill reservoir with specified brake fluid.
7) Check brake pedal play and bleed air from system.
8) Perform brake test and check each installed part for fluid leak-
age.

REMOVAL
NOTE:
Do not allow brake fluid to get on painted surfaces.
1) For vehicle equipped with ABS, disconnect brake pipes from
ABS hydraulic unit.
2) Remove master cylinder assembly, referring to MASTER CYL-
INDER ASSEMBLY REMOVAL in this section.
3) Disconnect brake vacuum hose from brake booster.
4) Disconnect push rod clevis from brake pedal arm.
5) Remove attaching nuts and then booster as shown.
CAUTION:
Never disassemble brake booster. Disassembly will spoil
its original function. If it is found faulty, replace it with
new one.

CLEARANCE BETWEEN BOOSTER PISTON ROD AND
MASTER CYLINDER PISTON ADJUSTMENT
The length of booster piston rod is adjusted to provide specified
clearance ªaº between piston rod end and master cylinder piston.

Before measuring clearance, push piston rod several times so as
to make sure reaction disc is in place.

Keep inside of booster at atmospheric pressure for measure-
ment.
1) Set special tool (A) on master cylinder and push pin until con-
tacts piston.
Special Tool
(A): 09950-96010
2) Turn special tool upside down and place it on booster. Adjust
booster piston rod length until rod end contacts pin head.
Special Tool
(A): 09950-96010
Clearance ªbº: 0 mm (0 in.)
NOTE:
Take measurement with booster set vertically and rod at the
center.
3) Adjust clearance by turning adjusting screw of piston rod.
Special Tool
(F): 09952-16010
Reference
When adjusted as above, its negative pressure is applied to boost-
er with engine at idle, piston to piston rod clearance ªaº should be-
come below.
Clearance ªaº: 0.25 ± 0.5 mm (0.010 ± 0.020 in.)
