DISASSEMBLY
1) Remove circlip (1).
2) Remove primary piston.
3) [For vehicle with ABS]
Pull out primary piston assembly straight so as not to cause
any damage to inside o 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.
4) [For vehicle without ABS]
Remove piston stopper bolt (1). Then remove secondary pis-
ton by blowing compressed air (2) into hole from which pis-
ton stopper bolt was removed.
Be cautions during removal as secondary piston jumps out.
INSPECTION
Inspect all disassembled parts for wear or damage, and
replace parts if necessary.
Inspect master cylinder bore for scoring or corrosion. It is
best to replace corroded cylinder.
Corrosion can be identified as pits or excessive roughness.
2. Master cylinder
NOTE:
Wash disassembled parts with brake fluid.
Do not reuse piston cups.
NOTE:
Polishing bore of master cylinder with cast aluminum
body with anything abrasive is prohibited, as damage to
cylinder bore may occur.

Rinse cylinder in clean brake fluid. Shake excess rinsing
fluid from cylinder. Do not use a cloth to dry cylinder, as lint
from cloth cannot be kept from cylinder bore surfaces.
ASSEMBLY
1) Install secondary piston assembly into cylinder.
2) Install primary piston in cylinder.
3) Depress, and install circlip (2).
4) Install piston stopper bolt with pistons pushed in all the way
and tighten it to specified torque (For vehicle without ABS).

NOTE:
See NOTE at the beginning of this section.
Before assembling, wash each part in fluid recom-
mended to use for that vehicle.
1. Rod
CAUTION:
Do not use shock absorber fluid or any other fluid which
contains mineral oil. Do not use container which has
been used for mineral oil or which is wet from water. Min-
eral oil will cause swelling and distortion of rubber parts
in hydraulic brake system and water will mix with brake
fluid, lowering fluid boiling point. Keep all fluid contain-
ers capped to prevent contamination.

Fluid to fill reservoir with is indicated on reservoir cap of that vehi-
cle with embossed letters or in owner’s manual supplied with it.
Add fluid up to MAX line.
