Master Cylinder: Installation
- Bleed master cylinder and reverse removal procedure, to complete installation. Bleed hydraulic brake system. See BRAKE SYSTEM BLEEDING in this article.
- Check master cylinder compensating ports. Remove master cylinder cover and observe brake fluid. A slight surge or small spurt should appear in one or both reservoirs upon brake application. If no spurt appears, push rod may be improperly adjusted.
- Adjust push rod at brake pedal, on manual brakes. Push rod should have a slight amount of play when brake pedal is released. On power brakes, brake booster push rod is non-adjustable.
