INSPECT AND ADJUST BRAKE BOOSTER PUSH ROD
Note
Make an adjustment with no vacuum in the brake booster assembly. (Depress the brake pedal several times with the engine stopped.)
Tech Tips
Adjustment of the brake booster push rod is required when the brake master cylinder sub-assembly is replaced with a new one.
Adjustment is not necessary when the removed brake master cylinder sub-assembly is reused and the brake booster assembly is replaced with a new one.
Apply chalk to the tip of an accessory tool.
Tech Tips
The accessory tool is enclosed with a new brake master cylinder sub-assembly.
| *1 | Accessory Tool |
Place the accessory tool on the brake booster assembly.
Measure the clearance between the brake booster push rod and accessory tool.
| Standard clearance |
|---|
| 0 mm (0 in.) |
Tech Tips
Adjust the clearance in the following cases:
If there is a clearance between the accessory tool and the shell of the brake booster (floating accessory tool), the push rod is protruding too far.
If the chalk does not stick on the tip of the brake booster push rod, the push rod protrusion is insufficient.
If the clearance is not as specified, adjust the push rod length by holding the rod using SST and turning the tip of the rod using a socket driver (7 mm).
Tech Tips
Check the push rod clearance again after adjustment.
INSTALL BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER SUB-ASSEMBLY
Install a new O-ring to the brake master cylinder sub-assembly.
Install the brake master cylinder sub-assembly to the brake booster assembly with the 2 nuts.
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 when removing the master cylinder from the brake booster, make sure that the master cylinder is kept horizontal or its tip faces downward (the piston faces upward) to prevent the master cylinder piston from falling out.
Do not allow any foreign matter to contaminate the master cylinder piston. If foreign matter 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.
CONNECT BRAKE LINE
Using a union nut wrench, connect the 2 brake lines to the brake master cylinder sub-assembly.
Note
Use the formula to calculate special torque values for situations where the union nut wrench is combined with a torque wrench Click here.
CONNECT NO. 1 RESERVOIR TUBE
Connect the No. 1 reservoir tube to the brake master cylinder reservoir sub-assembly.
