1. If removed, install the proportioning valves (1, 3) in their master cylinder ports. The valves are identical, so they can be installed in either master
cylinder port going to the rear brakes. Make sure the O-rings on the proportioning valves are new. Tighten the proportioning valves to 27 Nm (20
ft. lbs.).
NOTE: The master cylinder must be bled before installing it on the vehicle.
2. Bench bleed the master cylinder. See: Procedures
3. Wipe the face of the power brake booster clean where the master cylinder seal 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).
4. If the master cylinder does not have a NEW vacuum seal (2) installed on the mounting flange (1), remove it. Install a NEW vacuum seal on the
master cylinder mounting flange making sure the seal fits squarely in its groove.
CAUTION: If resistance is met during master cylinder insertion into power brake booster, the master cylinder push rod may not be lined
up with the booster push rod. Remove the master cylinder, realign and insert it again.
5. Line the master cylinder mounting holes up with the mounting studs on the power brake booster. Ensure the master cylinder piston push rod lines
up with the booster push rod, then carefully slide the master cylinder into the power brake booster until it contacts the face of the booster.
