5. Switch the SSTs and remeasure dimension L.

6. Install the front seal to the power brake unit.

7. Install the master cylinder to the power brake unit.

After installing the master cylinder, if air still exists in the brake lines even after performing

brake bleeding, brake drag occurs, or other malfunctions are present, it is possible that the master

cylinder piston is jammed against the push rod retainer of the power brake unit. If air cannot be

bled completely, brake drag exists, or other malfunctions occur, remove the master cylinder and

reinstall it properly.

Do not install the master cylinder with the front seal lip protruding. Doing so will create a

vacuum leak and loss of braking force.
