Note:
If brake fluid does not drip from the primary and/or secondary outlet ports, the master cylinder must be disassembled and the appropriate
compensation port cleaned. No fluid dripping from an outlet port may also be caused by a missing/damaged piston pin or damaged piston
center valve.

Install master cylinder assembly onto power brake booster studs. Align brake booster push rod with hole in master cylinder primary piston, then
seat master cylinder against booster. Slide brake tube support bracket onto inboard mounting stud. Torque two attaching nuts to 250 in-lbs (28
N.m).

Verify proper brake warning lamp operation by removing the reservoir cap and using the provided dowel rod (make sure rod is clean) to push the
float to the bottom of its travel (Figure 7). With the key in the ON position and the float at the bottom of its travel the warning light should be
illuminated. Reinstall reservoir cap.
22.
With engine off, pump brake pedal about 3-4 times until all vacuum in power brake booster is depleted. Apply light brake pedal pressure and hold
for a minimum of 30 seconds. The brake pedal should remain firm. Apply heavy brake pedal pressure and hold for a minimum of 30 seconds.
Again, the brake pedal should remain firm. If the brake pedal drops or is not firm during either of these tests, the master cylinder may either have a
damaged piston assembly or it was not properly bled and must be repaired accordingly.
