Brake Master Cylinder: Description and Operation
MASTER CYLINDER
The master cylinder is designed for use in a diagonally split system. One front and one diagonally opposite rear brakes are served by the primary
piston. The opposite front and rear brakes are served by the secondary piston. The master cylinder incorporates the functions of the standard dual
master cylinder, plus a low fluid level indicator. The proportioning valve mounted to the bulkhead limits the outlet pressure to the rear brakes after a
predetermined master cylinder pressure has been reached.
NOTICE: Do not use lubricated shop air on the brake parts, because oil will damage the rubber components.
IMPORTANT:
-
Replace all the components included in the repair kits used to service the master cylinder.
-
Lubricate the rubber parts with clean brake fluid to ease assembly.
-
If any hydraulic component is removed or disconnected, it may be necessary to bleed all or part of the brake system. See: Brake Bleeding
-
The torque values specified are for dry, unlubricated fasteners.
-
Perform all service operations on a clean bench, free from all traces of mineral oil.
