Without Gauge

  1. If master cylinder gauge is not available, a pencil may be used to check brake booster-to-master cylinder push rod clearance. Remove master cylinder. See MASTER CYLINDER  under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Insert pencil in master cylinder push rod socket.
  2. Mark pencil at point where pencil and boss at end of master cylinder meet. Measure and record length of pencil to mark. Measure and record how far master cylinder push rod protrudes out of power brake booster. Using a ruler, measure and record master cylinder boss length.
  3. Subtract length of boss from length of pencil. The difference between length of master cylinder push rod and length of pencil to mark is equal to push rod clearance. Clearance should be .04" (1.0 mm). If clearance is not as specified, adjust push rod length to obtain correct clearance. Install master cylinder and bleed brakes. See BLEEDING BRAKE SYSTEM  .
