  6. INSPECT AND ADJUST BRAKE BOOSTER PUSH ROD 
    NOTE: Make an adjustment with the brake booster assy having no vacuum. (Depress the brake pedal several times with the engine stopped.)

    HINT:

    Adjustment of the brake booster push rod is performed when the brake master cylinder sub-assy is replaced with a new one. The adjustment is not necessary when the brake master cylinder sub-assy is reinstalled and the brake booster assy is replaced with a new one.

    1. Apply the chalk to the tip of an accessory tool.

      HINT:

      An accessory tool is enclosed with new brake master cylinder sub-assy.

    2. Place the accessory tool to the brake booster assy.

    4. Measure the clearance between the brake booster push rod and accessory tool.

      Clearance: 0 mm (0 in.) 

      HINT:

      Adjust the clearance in following cases:

      • If there is a clearance between the accessory tool and the shell of the brake booster (floating accessory tool), the clearance is too small.
      • If the chalk does not stick on the tip of the brake booster push rod, the clearance is large.
    5. If clearance is outside of the specified range, fix the push rod using SST(s) and adjust the length of the protruding adjusting bolt.

      HINT:

      When adjusting the push rod, depress the brake pedal sufficiently so that the push rod sticks out.
