valve tests OK, reinstall it in the pump. lf the flow
control valve still leaks air, replace the pump as an
assembly. The flow control valve is not available
separatelY.
NOTE: 11 necessary, relief pressure is adjusted at
the factorv by adding shims under the check ball
seat. lf you found shims in your valve, be sure you
reinstall as many as You took out.

Check brake operation by applying the brakes.
lf the brakes do not work properly, check the brake
booster, Replace the brake booster as an assembly
if it does not work properly or if there are signs of
leakage.
Piston Cup and Pressure Cup Inspeqtion
. Check brake operation by applying the brakes.
Visually check for damage or signs of fluid leak-
age.
Replace the master cylinder as an assembly if
the pedal does not work properly or if there is
damage or signs of fluid leakage.
. Check for a difference in brake pedal stroke
between quick and slow brake applications.
Replace the master cylinder if there is a differ-
ence in oedal stroke.
Brake Hoses
Visually check for damage or signs of fluid leakage.
Replace the brake hose with a new one if it is dam-
aged or leaking.
Caliper Piston Seal and Piston Boots
Check brake ope.ation by applying the brakes.
Visually check for damage or signs of fluid leakage.
lf the pedal does not operate properly, the brakes
drag. or there is damage or signs of fluid leakage,
disassemble and inspect the brake caliper. Replace
the boots and seals with new ones whenever the
brake caliDer is disassembled.
