Damaged cylinder internal wall, foreign matter, wear, corrosion, or pin hole

Damaged or deformed nipple or reservoir tank

Settling of the spring

Cracked and deformed seat
ASSEMBLY
1. Apply rubber lubricant to internal surface of the cylinder body, sliding surface of piston assembly, and the
piston cup. Insert return spring and piston assembly to the cylinder body.
2. Apply silicone grease to the push rod and install the stopper before installing the stopper ring.
CAUTION:

Do not reuse stopper ring.

Restrain the push rod while doing this because there is a danger the piston assembly will fly out
of the master cylinder.
3. Install seat to the cylinder body.
4. Install clevis to push rod.
5. Check and adjust the position of clevis and push rod. After
adjusting “L”, tighten lock nut to the specified torque. Refer to
CL-8, "
Components" .
6. Install reservoir seal and nipple to cylinder body. Install spring
pin using a pin punch.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse reservoir seal.Length “L” : 111.0 ± 0.5 mm (4.37 ± 0.02 in)

CAUTION:

If transmission assembly is removed from the vehicle, always replace CSC (Concentric Slave Cyl-
inder) body and CSC tube. Return CSC body insert to original position to remove transmission
assembly. Dust on clutch disc sliding parts may damage seal of CSC body and may cause clutch
fluid leakage.

Do not disassemble CSC body.

Keep painted surface on the body or other parts free of clutch fluid. If it spills, wipe up immediately
and wash the affected area with water.
