INSPECTION OF COMPONENTS
Master Cylinder Inner Parts
Inspect all disassembled parts for wear or
damage, and replace parts if necessary.
NOTE:
Wash disassembled parts with brake fluid.
Do not reuse piston cups.
Reservoir
NOTE:
Do not use shock absorber fluid or any other
fluid which contains mineral oil. Do not use a
container which has been used for mineral oil or
a container which is wet from water. Mineral oil
will cause swelling and distortion of rubber
parts in the hydraulic brake system and water
will mix with brake fluid, lowering the fluid
boiling point. Keep all fluid containers capped
to prevent contamination.
Fluid to fill reservoir with is indicated on
reservoir cap of the car with embossed letters or
in owner’s manual supplied with the car.
Add fluid up to MAX line.

Inspect master cylinder bore for scoring or
corrosion.
It is best to replace a corroded
cylinder. Corrosion can be identified as pits or
excessive roughness.
NOTE:
Polishing bore of master cylinder with cast
aluminum body with anything abrasive is
prohibited, as damage to cylinder bore may
occur.
Rinse cylinder in clean brake fluid. Shake excess
rinsing fluid from cylinder. Do not use a cloth
to dry cylinder, as lint from cloth will remain on
cylinder bore surface.
