Clean and Inspect

WARNING

Use denatured alcohol to clean brake system components. Do not use mineral-based solvents (such as gasoline

or paint thinner), which will deteriorate rubber parts even after assembly. Deterioration of these components can

cause brake failure, which could result in death or serious injury. (00291a)

NOTE

Do not use wire or similar tool to clean drilled

passages.

Clean all metal parts, except the cartridge body

assembly, and blow dry with compressed air. Clean all

rubber parts using denatured alcohol.

2. Inspect the cylinder bore for scratches. Replace the

master cylinder assembly if scratches are present.

3. Inspect O-ring grooves on the cartridge body for dirt.

Carefully clean O-ring grooves using a soft cotton cloth

moistened with alcohol and allow to dry. Inspect O-ring

grooves for scratches. Replace cartridge body if

grooves are scratched.

4. Inspect the reservoir cover gasket for cuts, tears or

general deterioration.

Assemble

NOTE

When assembling rear brake master cylinder,

always use new parts from the service parts kit.

See Figure 1. Install new piston set (1).

a. Apply grease to cylinder bore, piston (9) and cups

(8 and 10).

CCI #20 BRAKE GREASE (42830-05)

Install primary cup (8) on small end of spring (7).

Insert large end of spring first. Install spring and

cup into cylinder bore.

Insert flat end of piston first. Install piston and cup

into cylinder bore.

Lightly apply grease to ball end of the pushrod

assembly.

G40M BRAKE GREASE (42820-04)

Install ball end of pushrod into cupped end of

piston.

Compress piston with pushrod.

WARNING

Wear safety glasses or goggles when

removing or installing retaining rings.

Retaining rings can slip from the pliers and

could be propelled with enough force to cause

serious eye injury. (00312a)

Install retaining ring (14). Verify that retaining ring

is completely seated in groove.

Install boot (15) over pushrod and into end of

master cylinder bore. Press lip of inner boot down

around groove in boot collar (13).

Install external return spring (16).

Compress return spring and Install spring retainer

(17) and nut (18).

See Figure 2. Tighten nut to 48.8 mm (1.9 in) from

face of master cylinder to end of hex nut.

See Figure 1. Install return spring boot (19).

Position boot taps at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock

position when master cylinder body is held upright.

Hold nut and install yoke (20). Tighten.

Torque: 14.7-19.6 N·m (11-14 ft-lbs) Master brake

cylinder yoke

Figure 2. 1.92 in (48.8 mm)

CAUTION

Direct contact of DOT 4 brake fluid with eyes can cause irritation. Avoid eye contact. In case of eye contact flush with

large amounts of water and get medical attention. Swallowing large amounts of DOT 4 brake fluid can cause digestive

discomfort. If swallowed, obtain medical attention. Use in well ventilated area. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

(00240b)

NOTICE

DOT 4 brake fluid will damage painted and body panel surfaces it comes in contact with. Always use caution and

protect surfaces from spills whenever brake work is performed. Failure to comply can result in cosmetic damage.

(00239c)

NOTE

If DOT 4 brake fluid contacts painted surfaces, IMMEDIATELY flush area with clear water.

DOT 4 BRAKE FLUID

99953-99A

355 ml (12 fl oz)

WARNING

Use denatured alcohol to clean brake system components. Do not use mineral-based solvents (such as gasoline or

paint thinner), which will deteriorate rubber parts even after assembly. Deterioration of these components can cause

brake failure, which could result in death or serious injury. (00291a)

Clean all rubber parts with brake fluid. Do not contaminate

with mineral oil or other solvents. Clean all metal parts

with denatured alcohol. Wipe parts dry with a clean, lint-

free cloth.

DOT 4 BRAKE FLUID (99953-99A)

WARNING

Compressed air can pierce the skin and flying debris

from compressed air could cause serious eye

injury. Wear safety glasses when working with

compressed air. Never use your hand to check for

air leaks or to determine air flow rates. (00061a)

Blow out drilled passages and piston bore with low

pressure compressed air from a clean air supply. Do not

use a wire or similar instrument to clean drilled passages.

Carefully inspect all components. Replace as necessary.

a. Check pistons for pitting, scratches or corrosion on

outside surfaces.

b. Inspect piston bores. Do not hone bores. Replace as

necessary.

NOTE

The pad pins are manufactured with a relief near

the center of their length, where the pad spring

touches. Do not use this area as a measurement

point to determine pad pin wear.

c. Inspect pad pin for grooving and wear at the pad

contact points. Measure the pad pin diameter in an

unworn area and in an area of any grooving or wear.

If wear exceeds 0.28 mm (0.011 in), replace pad pin.

d. Inspect pad spring for wear or cracks. Replace if

necessary.

e. Always replace all seals after disassembly.

WARNING

Always replace brake pads in complete sets for

correct and safe brake operation. Improper brake

operation could result in death or serious injury.

(00111a)

4. Inspect brake pads and brake disc. Replace if necessary.
