REMOVAL
When replacing master cylinder on models equipped with ABS, vacuum in power booster must be pumped down before removing master cylinder
to prevent booster from sucking in any contamination. This can be done by pumping the brake pedal until it is firm, with the ignition off.
1. On models equipped with ABS, ensure engine is not running and brake pedal has been pumped until firm.
2. On all models, remove wiring harness connector from brake fluid level sensor mounted on fluid reservoir.
3. Disconnect the primary and secondary brake tubes from master cylinder housing. Install suitable plugs at all open brake tube outlets on master
cylinder assembly.
4. On models equipped with ABS, clean area where master cylinder attaches to power brake vacuum booster using a suitable brake cleaner.
