Brake Master Cylinder: Notes
The brake master cylinder is a dual piston type. The brake master cylinder operates as follows:
- When the brake pedal is depressed, pressure is applied by mechanical linkage to the primary and secondary piston.
- Brake master cylinder pistons apply hydraulic pressure to the two opposed hydraulic circuits.
- ABS brake master cylinder will not be overhauled, due to internal adjustments which require extensive special tools and fixtures. Service is made by installing a new master cylinder only.
The brake master cylinder consists of:
- Brake master cylinder reservoir.
- Brake master cylinder body.
