DISASSEMBLY
WARNING:
Be careful not to pinch your fingers in the piston.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the cylinder inner wall.
1. Place a wooden block as shown in the figure. Blow air into union
bolt mounting hole to remove pistons and piston boots.

INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Cylinder Body
CAUTION:
Use new brake fluid to clean. Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene.

Check cylinder inner wall for corrosion, wear and damage. If corrosion, wear or damage is detected,
replace the cylinder body.

Minor flaws caused by corrosion or foreign material can be removed by polishing the surface with fine
sandpaper. Replace the cylinder body, if necessary.
To r q u e M e m b e r
Check for wear, cracks and damage. If wear, cracks or damage is detected, replace the applicable part.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

Symptom 2: Unexpected Pedal ReactionEFS004HK
1. CHECK BRAKE PEDAL STROKE
Check brake pedal stroke. Refer to BR-6, "
On-Vehicle Inspection and Adjustment" .
Is the stroke too large?
YES >>
Bleed air from the brake piping. Refer to BR-9, "Bleeding Brake System" .

Check brake pedal, brake booster, and master cylinder for mount play, looseness, brake sys-
tem fluid leakage, etc. Repair if necessary. Refer to Brake pedal: BR-7, "
Components" , brake
booster and master cylinder: BR-23, "
Removal and Installation" .
NO >> GO TO 2.
2. PERFORMANCE CHECK
Disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector to deactivate ABS. Check if braking force is
normal in this condition. Connect connector after inspection.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3. Wheel Sensor Inspection in BRC-43, "Symptom 1: ABS Works Frequently" .
NG >> Check brake system.
Symptom 3: Longer Stopping DistanceEFS004HL
CAUTION:
The stopping distance on slippery road surfaces might be longer with the ABS operating than when
the ABS is not operating.
1. PERFORMANCE CHECK
Turn ignition switch OFF. Disconnect ABS actuator and electric unit (control unit) connector to deactivate ABS.
In this condition, check stopping distance. After inspection, connect connector.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO BRC-43, "Symptom 1: ABS Works Frequently" .
NG >>

Bleed air from the brake piping. Refer to BR-9, "Bleeding Brake System" .

Check brake system.
