Brake Master Cylinder: Adjustments
NOTE: Master cylinder pushrod-to-piston clearance must be checked and adjustments made, if necessary, before installing master cylinder.
1. Using a pushrod adjustment gauge (Honda part # 07GAG-SE00100), adjust bolt so the top of it is flush with end of master cylinder piston.
Pushrod Adjustment
2. Install the master cylinder rod seal between the special tool and brake booster.
3. Without disturbing the adjusting bolt's position, put the gauge upside down on the booster.
4. Install the master cylinder nuts and tighten to the specified torque.
Connecting Vacuum Gauge
5. Connect the booster in-line with a vacuum gauge to the booster's engine vacuum supply, and maintain an engine speed that will deliver 500 mm
Hg (20 in Hg) vacuum.
6. With a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the gauge body and the adjusting nut.
CLEARANCE: 0-0.4 mm (0-0.016 in)
7. If clearance is incorrect, loosen the star locknut and turn the adjuster in or out to adjust. Hold the clevis while adjusting.
