Master Cylinder: Installation

Check and adjust clearance between power brake unit push rod and master cylinder piston if either unit is replaced or overhauled. See Fig 1. Clearance between push rod of power brake unit and pin head of depth gauge must be zero.
If not, adjust male portion of push rod with open end wrench, while holding female portion of rod with pliers. To complete installation, reverse removal procedure and bleed brake system. See BRAKE SYSTEM BLEEDING in this article.
