INSTALLATION
1) When using new grommets, lubricate them with the same
fluid as the one to fill reservoir with. Then press-fit grommets
to master cylinder. Grommets must be seated in place.
2) Install reservoir (1) and drive in reservoir pin (2).
3) Connect reservoir lead wire.
4) Fill reservoir (1) with specified fluid.
5) Upon completion of installation, check for fluid leakage.
Master Cylinder Assembly
REMOVAL
1) Disconnect reservoir lead wire at coupler.
2) Clean around reservoir cap (1) and take out fluid with
syringe or such.
3) Disconnect brake pipes (4) from master cylinder (3).
4) Remove master cylinder attaching nuts (5).
5) Remove master cylinder (3).
For vehicle equipped with P & B valve (6), remove master
cylinder (3) with P & B valve (6) and its bracket, then sepa-
rate P & B valve (6) from master cylinder (3). NOTE:
See NOTE at the beginning of this section.
NOTE:
Drive in reservoir pin (2) till both of its ends at the right
and left of reservoir (1) become the same length.
2. Cap
CAUTION:
Brake fluid is extremely damaging to paint.
Do not allow brake fluid to get on painted surfaces.

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.

CLEARANCE BETWEEN BOOSTER PISTON ROD AND
MASTER CYLINDER PISTON
The length of booster piston rod (1) is adjusted to provide speci-
fied clearance “a” between piston rod end and master cylinder
piston (2).
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.
Remove piston (push) rod seal from booster, if equipped.
1) Set special tool (E) on master cylinder (1) and push pin (3)
until contacts piston (2).
Special tool
(E): 09950-96010
2) Turn special tool upside down and place it on booster (1).
Adjust booster piston rod (2) length until rod end contacts pin
head (3).
Special tool
(E): 09950-96010
Clearance “b” (between special tool and piston rod)
0 mm (0 in.)
3) Adjust clearance by turning adjusting screw of piston rod.
Special tool
(F) : 09952-16010
NOTE:
Take measurement with booster set vertically or piston
rod supported with screw driver or such so as to set rod
at the center.
