ASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Never use mineral oils such as kerosene, gasoline during the cleaning and assembly process.
Do not drop parts. If a part is dropped, do not use it.
1. Apply brake fluid to the grommet and attach it to the cylinder body.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse grommet.
2. Install reservoir tank onto the cylinder body.
3. Secure master cylinder assembly into a vise with a chamfered
pin insert hole on cylinder body facing upward.
4. Tilt reservoir tank as shown in the figure and insert mounting pin.
Return reservoir tank to a upright position when mounting pin
passes through the pinhole in the cylinder body. Push the
mounting pin to the opposite pinhole of the reservoir tank so that
it is the same conditions as the insertion side.
CAUTION:
Be sure to fix the flange part with the brake tube installa-
tion side of cylinder body up.
Do not reuse mounting pin.

VACUUM LINES
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
Removal and InstallationNFS000P9
CAUTION:
Because vacuum hose contains a check valve, it must be
installed in the correct position. Refer to the stamp to con-
firm correct installation. Brake booster will not operate nor-
mally if the hose is installed in the wrong direction.
Insert vacuum hose at least 24 mm (0.94 in).
Do not use lubricating oil during assembly.
InspectionNFS000PA
VISUAL INSPECTION
Check for correct assembly, damage and deterioration.
CHECK VALVE INSPECTION
Airtightness Inspection
Use a handy vacuum pump to check.
Replace vacuum hose assembly if vacuum hose and check
valve are malfunctioning.
SBR225B
When connected to the booster side (1):
Vacuum should decrease within 1.3 kPa (10
mmHg, 0.39 inHg) for 15 seconds under a vacuum
of
66.7 kPa (500 mmHg, 19.69 inHg).

FRONT DISC BRAKE
Revision: 2006 January2006 M35/M45
It is not necessary to remove bolts on torque member and brake hose except for disassembly or
replacement of caliper assembly. In this case, hang cylinder body with a wire so as not to stretch
brake hose.
Do not damage piston boot.
If any shim is subject to serious corrosion, replace it with a new one.
Always replace shim and shim cover as a set when replacing brake pads.
Keep rotor free from brake fluid.
Burnish the brake pads and disc rotor mutually contacting surfaces, after refinishing or replacing
rotors, after replacing pads, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage. Refer to BR-28, "
BRAKE
BURNISHING PROCEDURE" .
Removal and Installation of Brake PadNFS000PD
REMOVAL
1. Remove tires from vehicle with power tool.
2. Remove lower sliding pin bolt.
3. Hang cylinder body with a wire, and remove pads, pad retainers,
shims, and shim cover from torque member.
CAUTION:
When removing the pad retainer from the torque member,
lift it in the direction indicated by the arrow in the figure so
that it does not deform.
INSTALLATION
1. Apply PBC (Poly Butyl Cuprysil) grease or equivalent to between shim cover and shim. Install shim, shim
cover, to pad.
2. Apply PBC (Poly Butyl Cuprysil) grease or equivalent to
between pad retainer and pad. Install pad retainers and pads to
torque member.
CAUTION:
Securely assemble pad retainers so that they are not
being lifted up from torque member.
Both inner and outer pads have a pad return system on
the pad retainer. Install pad return lever securely to pad
wear sensor.
3. Install cylinder body to torque member.
CAUTION:
In the case of replacing a pad with new one, check a brake fluid level in the reservoir tank because
brake fluid returns to master cylinder reservoir tank when pressing piston in.
NOTE:
Use a disc brake piston tool (commercial service tool) to easily press piston.
4. Install lower sliding pin bolt, and tighten it to the specified torque. Refer to BR-23, "
Components" .
5. Check front disc brake for drag.
6. Install tires to vehicle.
