When installing the master cylinder to the brake booster, or when removing the master cylinder from the brake booster, make sure that the master cylinder is kept horizontal or with its facing downward (the piston faces up ward) to prevent the master cylinder piston from falling out.

Do not use any other type of grease or fluid.
Be careful not to damage the brake tubes.
