Master Cylinder/Brake Booster
Pushrod Clearance Adjustment
(cont'd)
NOTE: If the clearance between the gauge body and
adjusting nut is 0.2 mm (0.008 in), the pushrod-to-piston
clearance is 0 mm. However, if the clearance between
the gauge body and adjusting nut is 0 mm, the pushrod-
to-piston clearance is 0.2 mm (0.008 in) or more.
Therefore it must be adjusted and rechecked.
6. If the clearance is incorrect, remove the tool, and
adjust the clearance by holding the pushrod and
turning the adjuster in or out.
CAUTION: Do not pull the pushrod out of the brake
booster.
NOTE: Adjust the clearance while the specified vac-
uum is applied to the booster.
