BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER INSTALLATION


  1. INSTALL BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER

    Tech Tips

    When installing the brake master cylinder, the brake booster push rod does not need to be adjusted.


    1. B007TGO

      Install the brake master cylinder and harness clamp bracket to the booster with the 2 nuts.

      Torque:
      12.7 N*m  { 130 kgf*cm, 9 ft.*lbf }

      Note

      Check that the stopper of the harness clamp bracket is securely holding on the brake master cylinder assembly.

    2. B007UG2

      for Manual Transmission:

      Install the clutch reservoir tube with the clip.

    3. B007PNBE02

      Using a union nut wrench, connect the 2 brake tubes to the master cylinder.

      Torque:
      15 N*m  { 155 kgf*cm, 11 ft.*lbf }

      Note

      Use the formula to calculate special torque values for situations where a union nut wrench is combined with a torque wrench Click here.

    4. Connect the level warning light switch connector.

  2. ADD BRAKE FLUID

    Fluid
    SAE J1703 or FMVSS No. 116 DOT3 or equivalent

  3. BLEED BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER

    Tech Tips

    If the master cylinder has been disassembled or if the reservoir becomes empty, bleed the air from the master cylinder.


    1. B007TZC

      Using a union nut wrench, disconnect the brake lines from the master cylinder.

    2. Slowly depress the brake pedal and hold it there.

    3. B007OMP

      Block the outer holes with your fingers, and release the brake pedal.

    4. Remove your fingers. Slowly depress the brake pedal and hold it again. Block the outer holes with your fingers and release the brake pedal. Repeat this procedure 3 or 4 times.

    5. Using a union nut wrench, connect the brake lines to the master cylinder.

      Torque:
      15 N*m  { 155 kgf*cm, 11 ft.*lbf }

  4. BLEED BRAKE LINE


    1. Connect the vinyl tube to the bleeder plug.

    2. Depress the brake pedal several times and loosen the bleeder plug with the pedal held down.

    3. At the point where the fluid stops coming out, tighten the bleeder plug and release the brake pedal.

    4. Repeat this procedure until the air in the brake fluid is completely bled out.

    5. Tighten the bleeder plug.


      1. Front bleeder plug:

        Torque:
        10.8 N*m  { 110 kgf*cm, 8 ft.*lbf }

      2. Rear bleeder plug:

        Torque:
        11.0 N*m  { 112 kgf*cm, 8 ft.*lbf }

    6. Repeat the above procedure to bleed the air out of the brake line for each wheel.

  5. CHECK BRAKE FLUID LEVEL


    1. Check the fluid level and add fluid if necessary.

      Fluid
      SAE J1703 or FMVSS No.116 DOT3 or equivalent

  6. CHECK BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE
