 Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if brake fluid gets on the paint,
wash it off immediately with water.
 Be careful not to damage or deform the brake lines during removal and installation.
 Plug the ends of the hoses and the joints to prevent spilling brake fluid.
1. Remove the air cleaner (see page 11-345).
2. Remove the reservoir cap and brake fluid from the master cylinder reservoir with a syringe.
3. Disconnect the brake fluid l evel switch connector
(A).
4. Remove the reservoir tank mounting bolt (B). 5. Disconnect the brake lines (A) from the master
cylinder (B). To prevent spills, cover the hose joints
with clean rags or shop towels.
6. Remove the master cylinder mounting nuts (C) and washers (D).
7. Remove the master cylinder from the brake booster (E). Be careful not to bend or damage the brake
lines when removing the master cylinder.
8. Remove the rod seal (F) from the master cylinder. NOTE: During installation, set a new rod seal onto
the master cylinder with its grooved side (G)
toward the master cylinder.
9. Install the master cylinder in the reverse order of removal, and note these items:
 Coat the inner bore lip and outer circumference of the new rod seal with the Shin-Etsu silicone
grease (P/N 08798-9013).
 Make sure not to get any silicone grease on the terminal part of the connectors and switches,
especially if you have silicone grease on your
hands or gloves.
 Check the brake pedal height and free play after installing the master cylinder, and adjust it if
necessary (see page 19-6).
10. Bleed the brake system (see page 19-9).
11. Spin the wheels to check for brake drag.
Replace.
