Master Cylinder Assembly Disassembly and
Assembly
S7RS0B4106013
Disassembly
1) Push in primary piston (1) to remove secondary
piston stopper pin (2) from master cylinder as
shown.
2) Remove circlip (1).
3) Remove piston guide and primary piston. Then remove secondary piston by blowing compressed air
(2) into hole. Be cautions during removal as
secondary piston jumps out.
WARNING!
Do not apply too highly compressed air
which will cause piston to jump out of
cylinder. Place a cloth to prevent piston from
damage. It should be taken out gradually with
moderately compressed air. Do not place
your fingers in front of piston when using
compressed air.

Assembly
CAUTION!
• Never use any mineral oil such as kerosene oil and gasoline when washing
and assembling parts.
• Check inside of cylinder wall, pistons and cup seals are free from any foreign objects
such as dust and dirt and use case not to
cause any damage with a tool during
assembly.
• Do not drop parts. Do not use any part which has been dropped.

1) Apply brake fluid to inside of cylinder and contact surface of piston assembly (new piston cups, new O-
ring and piston guide).
2) Install secondary return spring and secondary piston (1) into cylinder body (4).
NOTE
Align oblong hole in secondary piston (2)
with stopper pin hole (3) in master cylinder
body (4) when installing it.

3) Install primary piston assembly into cylinder body.
4) Install piston stopper pin (2) with pistons pushed in all the way and install it.

5) Apply small amount of rubber grease (included in spare parts) to mating surface of “a” (piston cup (3)
and piston guide (1)) and “b” piston guide (1) and O-
ring (2)).
6) Apply small amount of s ilicon grease (included in
spare parts) to mating surfaces of “c” (rod seal (4)
and primary piston (5)).
7) Install piston guide (1) and circlip (6).Master Cylinder Assembly InspectionS7RS0B4106014
Inspect all disassembled parts for wear or damage, and
replace parts if necessary.
NOTE
• Wash disassembled parts with brake fluid.
• Do not reuse inner parts and rubber parts.

Inspect master cylinder bore for scoring or corrosion. It is
best to replace corroded cylinder. Corrosion can be
identified as pits or excessive roughness.
NOTE
Polishing bore of master cylinder with cast
aluminium 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.
Brake Booster ComponentsS7RS0B4106015
CAUTION!
Never disassemble brake booster. Disassembly will spoi l its original function. If faulty condition is
found, replace it with new one.

Booster Operation InspectionS7RS0B4106016
There are two ways to perform this inspection, with and
without a tester. Ordinarily, it is possible to roughly
determine its condition without using a tester.
NOTE
For this check, make su re that no air is in
hydraulic line.

Check Air Tightness
1) Start engine.
2) Stop engine after running for 1 to 2 minutes.
3) Depress brake pedal several times with the same load as in ordinary braking and observe pedal travel.
If pedal goes down deep the first time but its travel
decreases as it is depressed the second and more
times, air tightness is obtained.
4) If pedal travel doesn’t change, air tightness isn’t obtained.
NOTE
If defective, inspect vacuum lines and sealing
parts, and replace any faulty part. When this
has been done, repeat the entire test.

Check Operation
1) With engine stopped, depress brake pedal several times with the same load and make sure that pedal
travel doesn’t change.
2) Start engine while depressing brake pedal. If pedal travel increases a little, operation is satisfactory. But
no change in pedal travel indicates malfunction.
Check Air Tightness Under Load 1) With engine running, depress brake pedal. Then stop engine while holding brake pedal depressed.

2) Hold brake pedal depressed for 30 seconds. If pedal height does not change, condition is good. But it isn’t
if pedal rises.

Parking Brake Inspection and AdjustmentS7RS0B4406001
Inspection
Hold center of parking brake lever grip and pull it up with
200 N (20 kg, 44 lbs) force.
With parking brake lever pulled up as shown, count
ratchet notches. There should be 4 to 9 notches.
Also, check if both right and left rear wheels are locked
firmly.
To count number of notches easily, listen to click sounds
that ratchet makes while pulling parking brake lever
without pressing its button.
One click sound corresponds to one notch.
If number of notches is out of specification, adjust cable
referring to adjustment procedure so as to obtain
specified parking brake stroke.
NOTE
Check tooth tip of each notch for damage or
wear.
If any damage or wear is found, replace
parking brake lever.

Adjustment
NOTE
Make sure for the following conditions before
cable adjustment.
• No air is trapped in brake system.
• Brake pedal travel is proper.
• Start engine and then brake pedal has been depressed at least 3 times with about
160 N (16.0 kg, 35.3 lbs) load.
• Parking brake lever (1) has been pulled up a few times with about 200 N (20 kg, 44 lbs)
load.
If parking brake cable is replaced with new
one, pull up parking brake lever a few
times with about 500 N ⋅m (50 kg, 110 lbs)
force.

1) Release parking brake lever (1).
2) Loosen parking brake lever adjust nut (2) fully.
3) Make sure that lever (3) contacts pin (4).
4) Pull up parking brake lever 1 notch.
5) Rotate rear wheel by hand and fasten parking lever adjust nut until dragging rear wheel lightly.
