the power brake unit only. For service of the master
cylinder, refer to applicable portion of "Standard

1. Scribe across outer edge of both housings and, if
used, across mounting bracket flanges to provide a
guide mark for reassembly.
2. Remove master cylinder attaching nuts and set
master cylinder aside.
3. Remove the front housing seal (fig. 2C); pulling the
piston rod from the front housing will also remove
the seal assembly. Remove the piston rod.
4. Attach base of Holding Fixture J-22805 to front
housing with nuts and washers and draw down tight
to eliminate bending or damage to studs. Clamp
base in bench vise with power section up (fig. 2A).

crack or break during straightening, the housing must
be replaced.
9. Place Spanner Wrench J-9504 over studs on rear
housing and attach with nuts and washers. Draw
nuts down tight to eliminate bending or damaging
of studs (fig. 3A).
When separating housings, maintain
