Inspection

Check brakelines(tubes andhoses) forcracks, deterioration or
other damage. Replaceanydamaged parts.

Installation

CAUTION:
• Refill withnewbrake fluid"DOT 3"or"DOT 4".
• Never reusedrained brakefluid.
• Donot mix different typesofbrake fluids(DOT3,DOT 4).
1. Tighten allflare nutsandconnecting bolts.

Connecting bolt:
~: 17-20 N'm (1.7-2.0 kg-m, 12-14 ft-Ib)
2. Refill untilnewbrake fluidcomes outofeach airbleeder

CAUTION:
• Carefully monitorbrakefluidlevel atmaster cylinder.
• Use new brake fluid"DOT 3"or"DOT 4".
• Donot mix different typesofbrake fluids(DOT3,DOT 4).
• Becareful nottosplash brakefluidonpainted areas;itmay
cause paintdamage. Ifbrake fluidissplashed onpaint
areas, washitaway withwater immediately.
• Depress pedalslowly whenraising frontbrake pressure.
• Check rearbrake pressure 2seconds afterfront brake pres-
sure reaches specified value.
• For models withABS disconnect harnessconnectors from
ABS actuator relaybefore checking.

1.
Connect Tooltoair bleeders offront andrear brakes on
either
LH

RH
side.
2. Bleed airfrom theTool.
3. Check rearbrake pressure bydepressing brakepedal
(increasing frontbrake pressure).

OPERATING CHECK

• Depress brakepedalseveral timeswithengine off.After
exhausting vacuum,makesurethere isno change inpedal
stroke.
• Depress brakepedal, thenstart engine. Ifpedal goesdown
slightly, operation isnormal.

AIRTIGHT CHECK

• Start engine, andstop itafter oneortwo minutes. Depress

brakepedalseveral timesslowly. Booster isairtight ifpedal
stroke isless each time.
• Depress brakepedalwhileengine isrunning, andstop

OUTPUT RODLENGTH CHECK

1. Supply brakebooster withvacuum of-66.7 kPa(-667 mbar,
-500 mmHg, -19.69inHg)usingahand vacuum pump.
2. Check output rodlength.
Specified length:
M195, S205orC205
10.275 -10.525 mm(0.4045 -0.4144 in)
Installation
CAUTION: • Becareful nottodeform orbend brake pipesduring instal-
lation ofbooster.
• Replace clevispinifdamaged.
• Refill withnewbrake fluid"DOT 3"or"DOT 4".
• Never reusedrained brakefluid.
• Donol mix different typesofbrake fluids(DOT3,DOT 4).
• Due tothe angle ofinstallation, threadcanbedamaged by
the dash panel.
1. Before fittingbooster, temporarily adjustclevistodimen-
sion shown. (Doesnotapply tovehicles fittedwithABS.)
2. Fitbooster, thensecure mounting nuts(brake pedalbracket
to booster) lightly.
3. Connect brakepedalandbooster inputrodwith clevis pin.
4. Secure mounting nuts.
Specification:
~: 13-16 N'm (1.3-1.6 kg-m, 9-12 ft-Ib)

CAUTION:
• When cylinder bodyisopen, donot depress brakepedalor

• Becareful nottodamage pistonbootorget oilonrotor.
Always replace shimswhenreplacing pads.
• Ifshims arerusted orshow peeling ofthe rubber coat,
replace themwithnewshims.
• Itis not necessary toremove connecting boltexcept for

1. Remove mastercylinder reservoir cap.
2. Remove lowerpinbolt.
3. Open cylinder bodyupward. Thenremove padretainers,
