Master Cylinder Push Rod: Protege

  1. Turn adjusting nut on Adjustment Gauge (49-F043-001 ) clockwise to fully retract gauge rod. Place adjustment gauge onto power brake unit. Apply 19 in. Hg to power brake unit. Turn adjustment gauge adjusting nut counterclockwise until it just contacts master cylinder push rod. Ensure gauge rod is seated by pressing lightly on end of gauge rod.
  2. Without disturbing adjusting nut, remove adjustment gauge from power brake booster and place on brake master cylinder. Press lightly on gauge rod to ensure rod is bottomed in master cylinder piston. DO NOT push so hard that piston moves.
  3. Note any clearance between adjustment gauge adjusting nut and adjusting gauge body. Note any clearance between adjustment gauge body and master cylinder body. Using Rod Holder (49-B043-004 ) and Socket (49-E043-03A ), adjust power brake push rod as necessary to obtain zero clearance between adjustment gauge adjusting nut and adjusting gauge body.
