Nubira SX Hatchback L4-2.0L DOHC D-TEC MFI (1999)
Assembly Procedure
NOTICE: Do not use abrasives in the master cylinder bore. Abrasives can damage the bore.
Important: Rubber parts and retaining rings must be discarded and replaced with new parts.
1. Clean all parts with denatured alcohol or clean brake fluid. Dry the parts with compressed air. Do not use lubricated shop air on brake parts, as this
may damage rubber components.
2. Inspect the master cylinder bore for scoring or corrosion. If scoring or corrosion is evident, replace the master cylinder body.
3. Lubricate the master cylinder bore (the non-ABS master cylinder is shown) with clean brake fluid.
4. Carefully insert the secondary piston assembly bore until the secondary piston contacts the base of the cylinder body. Use a wood or a plastic drift,
if necessary.
5. Insert the primary piston.
6. Press the pistons into the cylinder bore using a wooden or a plastic drift.
NOTICE: When installing the new retaining ring, take care not to damage the cylinder bore.
7. Insert the new retaining ring into the groove in the cylinder bore (the non-ABS cylinder body is shown). Remove the welding rod.
8. Move the pistons backward and forward after installation to check for free movement.
