Hand Brake Lever/Master
Cylinder Assembly
NOTE: The master cylinder is a non-serviceable
component; it must be replaced as an assembly.
REMOVING
1. Slide a piece of flexible tubing over one of the wheel
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 com-
pletely.
NOTE: Compressing the brake lever several times
will quicken the draining process.

2. Place an absorbent towel around the connection to
absorb brake fluid. Remove the banjo-fitting from
the master cylinder. Account for two crush washers
and a banjo-fitting bolt.
