      Note


      • The master cylinder requires careful handling. Do not allow the master cylinder to receive any impact, such as from being dropped. Do not reuse a master cylinder that has been dropped.

      • Do not strike or pinch the master cylinder piston, and do not cause any damage to the master cylinder piston by any other means.

      • Release the vacuum from booster by depressing the brake pedal several times. Then remove the brake master cylinder from brake booster.

      • When installing the brake master cylinder sub-assembly onto the brake booster, or when removing the brake master cylinder sub-assembly from the brake booster, make sure that the brake master cylinder sub-assembly is kept horizontal or its tip faces downward (the piston faces upward) to prevent the master cylinder piston from falling off.

      • Do not allow any foreign objects to contaminate the master cylinder piston. If a foreign object gets on the piston, remove it by using a piece of cloth and then apply an even layer of lithium soap based glycol grease around the circumference (sliding part) of the piston.

      • Do not use any other type of grease or fluid.
