Gear Positioning
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to repair damaged motor packs or hydraulic modulators. Other than modulator drive gear replacement, repair of these
assemblies is not authorized. Do not lubricate or oil gears or motor pack.
CAUTION: The modulator drive gears are under spring load and will turn during disassembly. After removing hydraulic modulator drive gear
cover, exercise extreme care not to place fingers into the gear set, since fingers can be pinched by rotating gears.
DISASSEMBLE
1. Hydraulic modulator/master cylinder assembly.
2. Torx head screws attaching gear cover.
3. Four motor pack to hydraulic modulator Torx head screws.
IMPORTANT: Take care in handling the motor pack. If dropped or damaged in the handling, the motor pack must be replaced.
4. Separate motor pack from hydraulic modulator.
NOTICE: Do not allow gear to turn while removing the retaining nut, since the modulator piston can hit the top of the modulator bore, damaging the
piston. Turn the modulator gear to position the piston in the center of its travel. Place a screwdriver through the holes in the gears (not between the gears)
into the recessed hole in the modulator base. This will prevent the gear from turning, aiding in gear removal.
5. Three modulator drive gear to modulator drive shaft retaining nuts.
6. Gears from modulator.
ASSEMBLE
NOTICE: Do not allow gear to turn while tightening the retaining nut, since the modulator piston can bottom out in the modulator bore damaging the
piston. Turn the modulator gear to position the piston in the center of its travel.
1. Place a screwdriver through the holes in the gears (not between the gears) into the recessed hole in the modulator base. This will prevent the gear
from turning, aiding in gear installation.
2. Position hydraulic modulator drive gears onto hydraulic modulator drive shaft.
3. Three gear retaining nuts.
TIGHTEN
-
Nuts to 8.5 Nm (76 lb. in.).
4. With the hydraulic modulator upside down, and the gears facing you, rotate each hydraulic modulator gear counterclockwise until movement
stops. This procedure will position the pistons very close to the top of the hydraulic modulator bore, simplifying the brake bleeding procedure.
5. Position motor pack onto hydraulic modulator, aligning the three motor pack gears with the modulator gears.
IMPORTANT: Take care in handling the motor pack. If dropped or damaged during handling, the motor pack must be replaced.
6. Four motor pack to hydraulic modulator Torx head screws.
TIGHTEN
-
Torx head screws 5 Nm (44 lb. in.).
7. Gear cover onto hydraulic modulator with Torx head screws.
TIGHTEN
-
Torx head screws to 4 Nm (36 lb. in.).
