wall from being damaged.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Cylinder Body
• Check the inner wall of cylinder for damage, wear, corrosion, and pin holes. Replace cylinder body if neces-sary.
ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
• Never use mineral oils such as kerosene or g asoline during the cleaning and assembly processes.
• Make sure that there is no foreign material such as dirt and dust on the inner wall of cylinder, piston,
and piston cup. Be careful not to damage parts with a service tool when assembling.
• Do not drop parts. If a part is dropped, do not use it.
1. Apply brake fluid to the inner wall of cylinder body, primary pis- ton assembly and secondary piston assembly.
2. Insert secondary piston and primary piston assembly into cylin- der body in this order.
CAUTION:
• Pay attention to the orientation of piston cup, and insert
straight to prevent cup from being caught by the inner
wall of cylinder.
• Always replace inner kit as a set.
3. Set the slit of secondary piston towards the piston stopper mounting hole of cylinder body while pushing in the primary pis-
ton. Then install the piston stopper through the slit of secondary
piston.
4. Insert plate and guide assembly into cylinder body. CAUTION:
• Be careful not to damage rod of primary piston.
• Pay attention to the orientation of guide assembly.
• Do not drop O-ring.
• Be careful the guide and/or plate are not inserted at an
angle to cylinder inner wall.

REMOVAL
1. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the intake manifold.
2. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the brake booster.
3. Disconnect the vacuum hose from the clip and re move the vacuum hose and vacuum tube assembly.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

5. Remove piston seal with a flat-bladed screwdriver.CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the inner wall of cylinder.
INSPECTION AFTER DISASSEMBLY
Cylinder Body
Check the inner wall of cylinder for corrosion, w ear, and damage. Replace cylinder body as necessary.
CAUTION:
Clean cylinder body using new brake fluid. Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene.
Torque Member
Check for wear, cracks, and damage. R eplace torque member as necessary.
Piston
Check piston surface for corrosion, wear, and damage. Replace piston as necessary.
CAUTION:
The piston sliding surface is plated. Do not polish with sandpaper.
Sliding Pin, Sliding Pin Bolt, and Sliding Pin Boot
Check sliding pins, sliding pin bolts and sliding pin boots for wear, damage, and cracks. Replace applicable
part as necessary.
DISC ROTOR INSPECTION
Visual Inspection
Check surfaces of disc rotor for uneven wear, cr acks, and serious damage. Replace as necessary.
Runout Inspection
1. Using wheel nuts, secure disc rotor to wheels hub at two or more positions.
2. Using a dial indicator, check runout.
CAUTION:
Make sure that wheel bearing axial end play is within the
specifications before measuring runout. Refer to FA X - 6 ,
"On-Vehicle Inspection and Service".
3. If runout is outside the limit, find the minimum runout point by shifting the mounting positions of disc rotor and wheel hub by
one hole.
4. If runout is still out of the specification, grind rotor on-car using Tool until runout is within the specified limit.

wheel will lock when the push-button ignition switch is turned to LOCK position.)
6. Perform self-diagnosis check of a ll control units using CONSULT-III.
Precaution for Brake SystemINFOID:0000000005928462
CAUTION:
• Refer to MA-14, "
Fluids and Lubricants" for recommended brake fluid.
• Never reuse drained brake fluid.
• Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is
splashed on painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
• To clean or wash all parts of master cylin der and disc brake caliper, use clean brake fluid.
• Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosen e. They will ruin rubber parts of the hydraulic sys-
tem.
• Use flare nut wrench when removing and installing brake tube.
• If a brake fluid leak is found, the part must be disassembled
without fail. Then it has to be replaced with a new one if a
defect exists.
• Turn the ignition switch OFF and remove the connector of the
ABS actuator and electric unit (con trol unit) or the battery ter-
minal before performing the work.
• Always torque brake lines when installing.
• Burnish the brake contact surf aces after refinishing or replac-
ing rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at
very low mileage.
Refer to BR-34, "
Brake Burnishing Procedure".
WARNING:
• Clean brake pads and shoes with a waste cl oth, then wipe with a dust collector.
Precaution for Brake ControlINFOID:0000000005928463
• During ABS operation, the brake pedal may vibrate lightly and a mechanical noise may be heard. This is
normal.
• Just after starting vehicle, the brake pedal may vibrate or a motor operating noise may be heard from engine
compartment. This is a normal status of operation check.
• Stopping distance may be longer than that of vehicles without ABS when vehicle drives on rough, gravel, or snow-covered (fresh, deep snow) roads.
• When an error is indicated by ABS or another warning lamp, collect all necessary information from customer (what symptoms are present under what conditions) and check for simple causes before starting diagnosis.
Besides electrical system inspection, check boos ter operation, brake fluid level, and fluid leaks.
• If incorrect tire sizes or types are installed on the vehicle or brake pads are not Genuine NISSAN parts, stop-
ping distance or steering stability may deteriorate.
• If there is a radio, antenna or related wiring near control module, ABS function may have a malfunction or
error.
• If aftermarket parts (car stereo, CD player, etc.) have been installed, check for incidents such as harness pinches, open circuits or improper wiring.
• If the following components are replaced with non-genuine components or modified, the VDC OFF indicator lamp and SLIP indicator lamp may turn on or the VDC system may not operate properly. Components
related to suspension (shock absorbers, struts, springs , bushings, etc.), tires, wheels (exclude specified
size), components related to brake system (pads, roto rs, calipers, etc.), components related to engine (muf-
fler, ECM, etc.), components related to body reinforcement (roll bar, tower bar, etc.).
• Driving with broken or excessively worn suspensi on components, tires or brake system components may
cause the VDC OFF indicator lamp and the SLIP indicator lamp to turn on, and the VDC system may not
operate properly.
• When the TCS or VDC is activated by sudden acceleration or sudden turn, some noise may occur. The noise is a result of the normal operation of the TCS and VDC.
• When driving on roads which have extreme slopes (such as mountainous roads) or high banks (such as sharp curves on a freeway), the VDC may not operate no rmally, or the VDC warning lamp and the SLIP indi-
cator lamp may turn on. This is not a problem if normal operation can be resumed after restarting the engine.

•Use recommended brake fluid when adding fluid to the clutch reservoir tank. Refer to MA-14.
• Never reuse fluid drained from clutch system.
• Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas.
• Use new brake fluid to clean or wash all part s of master cylinder and operating cylinder.
• Never use mineral oils such as gasoline or kerosene. It will ruin the rubber parts of the hydraulic sys-
tem.
• If transaxle assembly is removed from the vehicle, always replace CSC (Con centric slave cylinder).
Return CSC to original position to remove transaxle assembly. Dust on clutch disc sliding parts may
damage CSC seal and may cause clutch fluid leakage.
• Do not disassemble clutch master cylinder and CSC.

• Never bring any grease to the clutch disc faci ng, pressure plate surface and flywheel surface.
• When installing, be careful that grease applied to input shaft does not adhere to clutch disc.
• Never clean clutch disc using solvent.
REMOVAL
1. Remove transaxle assembly from the vehicle. Refer to MT-17, "Removal and Installation" (RS5F91R
models), MT-61, "
Removal and Installation" (RS6F94R models).
2. Loosen clutch cover bolts evenly. Then remove clutch cover and clutch disc.
