Inspection After Disassembly: Assembly
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
- Never use mineral oils such as kerosene or gasoline during the cleaning and assembly process.
- Make sure there is no foreign matter such as dirt or dust attached to the inner cylinder walls, the piston, or the cap seal, and use care to avoid damaging parts with the assembly tools.
- Do not drop parts. If a part is dropped, do not use it.
- Apply fluid to cylinder inner wall body and contact surface of the piston assembly. Then insert secondary piston assembly and primary piston assembly into cylinder body in this order.CAUTION:
- Do not reuse the primary and secondary piston assemblies.
- Be sure to replace the assembly without disassembling the new inner kit.
- Pay attention to the orientation of the piston cup, and insert straight to prevent the cup from being caught by cylinder inner wall.
- Perform a visual inspection of the secondary piston slit through the tank boss hole on the secondary side of the cylinder body, and install the piston stopper.
- Holding down the piston with the stopper cap, push the stopper cap tabs so they are firmly into the cylinder grooves, then attach the stopper cap.
- Apply brake fluid to the grommet and attach to the cylinder body.CAUTION: Do not reuse the grommet.
- Fix master cylinder assembly is a vise as described in disassembly step 2.
- Using a pin punch [commercial service tool: diameter approx. 4 mm (0.16 in)], attach the reservoir tank mounting pin so that the attachment side and the opposite side are identical.
CAUTION: Do not reuse reservoir tank grommet and mounting pin.
- If necessary, install brake fluid level switch.
