2. Wipe the face of the power brake booster clean where the vacuum seal on the rear of the master cylinder comes in contact when it's installed. Do
not get any cleaner or debris inside the booster.
CAUTION: When installing a master cylinder on the vehicle, a NEW vacuum seal (2) MUST be installed on the master cylinder mounting
flange (1).

cylinder mounting flange making sure the seal fits squarely in its groove.
4. Position master cylinder (7) on studs of power brake booster (2), aligning booster push rod with master cylinder piston.

CAUTION: When tightening primary and secondary brake tube nuts at master cylinder, be sure brake tubes do not contact any other
components within vehicle and that there is slack in flexible sections of tubes. This is required due to movement between ABS ICU and
master cylinder while vehicle is in motion.

tightened to control orientation of flex section. Tighten tube nuts to 14 Nm (120 in. lbs.).
