^ Do not allow brake fluid to get on painted surfaces. Painted surfaces will be damaged by brake fluid, flush it with water immediately if any fluid is spilled.
Removal
1) Disconnect reservoir lead wire at coupler (1).
2) Clean outside of master cylinder and take out fluid with syringe or such.
3) Disconnect clutch reservoir hose (1) from reservoir (2) (M/T model).
4) Loosen brake pipe flare nuts (2) for master cylinder (1).
5) Disconnect brake pipes (3) from master cylinder (1).
6) Loosen master cylinder fixing nuts (1) and then remove master cylinder (2) with reservoir (3) from brake booster (4).
Installation
1) Install new master cylinder O-ring (1) to master cylinder.
2) Apply grease to piston rod "A".
Use specified grease to spare parts.
3) Install master cylinder (2) with reservoir (3) to brake booster (4).
4) Tighten master cylinder fixing nuts (1) to specified torque.
Tightening torque
Master cylinder fixing nut (a): 18 Nm (1.8 kg-m, 13.0 ft. lbs.)
5) Connect brake pipes to master cylinder and tighten brake pipe flare nuts (1) to specified torque.
