CAUTION: Do not spill brake fluid onthe vehicle; it may
damsge the paint; il brake fluid does contact th6 paint.
wash it off immodiately with water.
NOTE:
. Before reassembling, check that all parts are free of
dust and other foreign particles.
. Do not try to disassemble the master cylinder assem-
bly. Replace the master cylinder assembly with a new
pan it necessary,
. Make sure no dirt or other foreign matter is allowed
to contaminate the brake fluid.

Pushrod Clearance Adjustment
NOTE: Master cylinder pushrod-to-piston clearance must
be checked and adjustments made, if necessary. before
installing the master cylinder.
1. Set the special tool on the master cylinder body;
push in the center shaft until the top ot it contacts
the end of the secondary piston by turning the ad-justing nut.

ADJUSTING NUT
Without disturbing the center shaft's position, in-
stallthe special tool upside down on the booster.
Install the master cylinder nuts, and tighten them to
the sDecified toroue.
Connect the booster iniine with a vacuum gauge 0 -
101 kPa (0 - 760 mmHg, 30 in Hg) to the booster's
engine vacuum supply, and maintain an engine
speed that will deliver 66 kPa (500 mmH9, 20 in Hg)
vacuum.
With a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between
the gauge body and the adiusting nut as shown.

lf the clearance between the gauge body and
adjusting nut is 0.4 mm (0.02 in), the pushrod-to-
piston clearance is 0 mm. However. if the clearance
between the gauge body and adjusting nut is 0 mm,
the pushrod-to-piston clearance is 0.4 mm (0.02 in)
or more. Therefore it must be adjusted and
recheck€d.
lf clearance is incorrect, loosen the star locknut, and
turn the adjuster in or out to adjust.
. Adjust the clearance while the specified vacuum
is applied to the booster.
. Hold the clevis while adjusting.
Tighten the star locknut securely.

Brake Booster Inspection
FunctionalTest
1. With the engine stopped, press the brake pedal sev-
eral times to deplete the vacuum reservoir. thenpress the pedal hard, and hold it for 15 seconds. lf
the pedal sinks, either the master cylinder is
bypassing internally, or the brake system (master
cylinder, lines, modulator, proportioning valve. or
caliper) is leaking.
2. Start the engine with the pedal pressed. lf the pedal
sinks slightly. the vacuum booster is operating nor-
mally. lf the pedal height does not vary, the booster
or check valve is faultv.
3. With the engine running, press the brake pedal light-
ly. Apply just enough pressure to hold back auto-
matic transmission creep. lf the brake pedal sinks
more than 10 mm (3/8 in.) in three minutes, the mas-
ter cylinder is faulty. A slight change in pedal height
when the Ay'C compressor cycles on and off is nor-
mal. (The Ay'C compressor load changes the vacuum
available to the booster.)
Leak Test
1.Press the brake pedal with the engine running, then
stop the engine. lf the pedal height does not vary
while pressed for 30 seconds, the vacuum booster is
OK. lf the pedal rises, the booster is faulty.
With the engine stopped, press the brake pedal sev-
eral times using normal pressure. When the pedal is
first pressed. it should be low, On consecutive appli-
cations, the pedal height should gradually rise. lf thepedal position does not vary. check the booster
check valve.
Boostor Chock Valve Test
1. Disconnect the brake booster vacuum hose at the
booster.
2. Start the engine, and let it idle. There should be vac-
uum. lf no vacuum is available, the check valve is
not working properly. Replace the brake booster
vacuum hose and check valve. and retest.

Rear Drum Brakes
Never use an air hose or dry brush to clgan brake assemblies,
Use an OSHA approved vacuum cleaner to avoid breathing brake dust.
Contaminated brake linings or drums reduce stopping ability.

Block the front wheels, loosen the rear wheel nuts slightly, then raise the
poned. Remove the rear wheels.
2. Release the parking brake, and remove the rear brake drum.
