Master Cylinder

Pushrod Clearance Adjustment

NOTE: Master cylinder pushrod-to piston clearance must be checked and adjustments made, if necessary, before installing master cylinder.

1. Set the special tool on the master cylinder body; push in the center shaft until the top of it contacts the end of the secondary piston by turning the adjusting nut.

2. Without disturbing the center shaft's position, install the special tool upside down on the booster.

3. Install the master cylinder nuts and tighten to the specified torque.

4. Connect the booster in-line with a vacuum gauge 0-101 kPa (0-760 mmHg, 30 in Hg) to the booster's engine vacuum supply, and maintain a engine speed that will deliver 66 kPa (500 mmHg, 20 in Hg) vacuum.

5. With a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the gauge body and the adjusting nut as shown.

Clearance: 0-0.4 mm (0-0.02 in)

NOTE: If the clearance between the gauge body and adjusting nut is 0.4 mm (0.02 in), the pushrod-topiston clearance is 0 mm. However, if the clearance between the gauge body and adjusting nut is 0 mm, the pushrod-to-piston clearance is 0.4 mm (0.02 in) or more. Therefore, it must be adjusted and rechecked.

6. If clearance is incorrect, loosen the star locknut and turn the adjuster in or out to adjust.

NOTE:

is applied to the booster.

7. Tighten the star locknut securely. 6. Remove the special tool.

9. Adjust the pushrod length as shown if the booster is removed.

10. Install the master cylinder (see page 19-19).
