MASTER CYLINDER ASSEMBLY
NOTE: The master cylinder is a non-serviceable
component; it must be replaced as an assembly.
Removing

bleeder valves and direct the other end into a con-
tainer. Remove the reservoir cover; then open the
bleeder valve. Allow the brake fluid to drain until the

Inspecting

wear, bending, or elongation of clevis holes.
2. Inspect the push rod boot for tears or deterioration.
3. Inspect the reservoir for cracks and leakage.
4. Inspect the brake hose for cracks and deterioration
and the condition of the banjo-fittings.
Installing
1. Place the master cylinder into position; then using
three new crush washers, secure the two banjo-fit-
tings to the master cylinder. Tighten to 20 ft-lb.
2. Secure the master cylinder assembly to the frame
with two cap screws and two flange nuts. Tighten to
25 ft-lb.
3. Install the pivot pin and secure with a new cotter pin.
4. Fill the master cylinder and bleed the brake system
(see Hydraulic Brake System in Section 2).
! WARNING
Never use brake fluid from an open container or
reuse brake fluid. Moisture-contaminated brake fluid
could cause vapor build-up (expansion) during hard
braking resulting in greatly increased stopping dis-
tance or loss of control leading to injury or death.
CAUTION
Brake fluid is highly corrosive. Do not spill brake
fluid on any surface of the vehicle.
