Master Cylinder Push Rod
NOTE:
Check and adjust master cylinder push rod-to-piston clearance before installing master cylinder.
- Install and adjust Push Rod Adjustment Gauge (07JAG-SD40100) so gauge center rod makes light contact with secondary piston of master cylinder. See Fig 1 . Ensure gasket is in position when adjusting rod clearance.
- Remove push rod adjustment gauge from master cylinder, and install gauge onto brake booster. See Fig 2 . Tighten mounting nuts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Using engine or outside vacuum source, apply at least 20 in. Hg vacuum to brake booster. Check clearance using feeler gauge. Clearance should be between 0-.016" (0-.40 mm).
- Adjust push rod clearance by turning nut at end of push rod. Adjust push rod length to 4.55-4.59" (115.5-116.5 mm). See Fig 3 . Tighten lock nut to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
