CAUTION:
• 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.
• Do not scratch the piston of master cylinder when installing/removing because the piston is
exposed. Check for any dust on the piston , and wash with brake fluid if needed.
• Hold the master cylinder body when handing the master cylinder assembly. Do not hold the piston
because the piston might become detached if pulled strongly.
• Refill the reservoir tank wi th new brake fluid “DOT 3”.
• Do not reuse drained brake fluid.
• Do not reuse master cylinder O-ring.
NOTE:
When removing components such as hoses, tubes/lines, etc. , cap or plug openings to prevent fluid from spill-
ing.
REMOVAL
1. Drain the brake fluid. Refer to BR-14, "Drain and Refill".
2. Remove air cleaner assembly and air ducts. Refer to EM-29, "Removal and Installation"
(QR25DE) or
EM-144, "Removal and Installation"
(VQ35DE).
3. Disconnect the harness connector from the brake fluid level switch.
4. Remove the brake fluid level switch.
5. Disconnect the brake pipes from the master cylinder using a suitable tool.
6. Remove the master cylinder assembly nuts.
7. Remove the master cylinder assembly.
8. Remove and discard the O-ring from the master cylinder. CAUTION:
Do not reuse O-ring.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
1. Reservoir cap 2. Oil strainer 3. Master cylinder assembly
4. Brake fluid level switch 5. O-ring PBC (Poly Butyl Cuprysil) grease or silicone-based grease

4. Turn the crankshaft pulley approximately 20
° clockwise so that
the timing chain on the timing chain tensioner side is loose.
5. Apply engine oil to the oil feed hole and timing chain tensioner and install the timing chain tensioner.
6. Remove the stopper pin (A).
7. Install valve timing control cover (bank 1) and water pump cover.
a. Before installing, remove all traces of liquid gasket from mating surface of water pump cover and IVT cover using a scraper.
Also remove traces of liquid gasket from the mating surface of the front cover.
b. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to mating surface of IVT cover and water pump cover. Use Gen-
uine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to GI-21, "Recommended Chemical Products and
Sealants".
CAUTION:
• Installation should be done within 5 minutes afte r applying liquid gasket.
• Do not fill the engine with oil for at least 30 minutes after the co mponents are installed to allow
the sealant to cure.
8. Install water drain plug (A) and copper sealing washer (B). CAUTION:
Do not reuse copper sealing washers.
9. Installation of remaining components is in the reverse order of removal. • After installation, refill coolant and check for leaks. Refer to CO-36, "Changing Engine Coolant"
and CO-
35, "System Inspection".
CAUTION:
Do not spill coolant in en gine compartment. Use a sh op cloth to absorb coolant.
• After starting engine, let idle for three minutes, then rev engine up to 3,000 rpm under no load to purge air from the high-pressure chamber of the chai n tensioner. The engine may produce a rattling noise.
This indicates that air still remains in the chamber and is not a matter of concern.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels incl uding engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-11, "FOR USA AND CANADA : Fluids and Lubricants"
.

WATER PUMP
• Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leak- age at connection points.
• Start engine. With engine speed increased, che ck again for fuel leakage at connection points.
• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration. NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal and installation, slack in the guide
may generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop
after hydraulic pressure rises.
• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids including engine oil and engine coolant.
• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.
• After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to spec-
ified level, if necessary.
