PRECAUTION
Note
After turning the engine switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the battery terminal notice before proceeding with work Click here.
DISCONNECT CABLE FROM NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL
Note
When disconnecting the cable, some systems need to be initialized after the cable is reconnected Click here.
REMOVE FRONT WHEEL
REMOVE ENGINE ROOM SIDE COVER LH
Detach the 2 clips and remove the engine room side cover LH.
DRAIN BRAKE FLUID
Note
Wash off brake fluid immediately if it comes into contact with a painted surface.
REMOVE FRONT NO. 2 BRAKE TUBE (for RHD)
Using a union nut wench, disconnect the No. 2 front brake tube.
Hold the flexible hose in place with a wrench, and disconnect the No. 2 brake tube from the flexible hose using the union nut wrench.
Remove the grommet and No. 2 brake tube from the vehicle.
Note
Do not deform or damage the brake tube.
REMOVE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER SUB-ASSEMBLY (for RHD)
Disconnect the brake fluid level warning switch connector.
for LHD:
Detach the clamp.
for RHD:
Detach the clamp.
Using a union nut wrench, disconnect the 2 brake lines from the master cylinder.
for LHD:
Remove the 2 nut and brake master cylinder from the brake booster.
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.
When installing the master cylinder to the brake booster or removing the master cylinder from the brake booster, make sure that the master cylinder is kept horizontal or with its tip facing downward (the piston faces upward) to prevent the master cylinder piston from falling out.
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 base glycol grease around the circumference (sliding part) of the piston.
Do not use any other type of grease or fluid.
Be careful not to damage the brake tubes.
for RHD:
Remove the 2 nuts and disconnect the harness clamp bracket and brake master cylinder.
Tech Tips
Remove the parts while avoiding the brake actuator assembly.
