Master Cylinder Removal
WARNING
• To perform this procedure, the hydraulic system must be opened. As a result, the brakes must be
bled after the correct installation of the brake components. Failure to bleed the brakes could result in
decreased braking performance due to air being trapped in the hydraulic system. Use only DOT 5
brake fluid. See Bleeding the Hydraulic Brake System on page 6-16.
1. Chock the tires.
2. Use a flare-nut wrench to disconnect the brake hoses at the master cylinder (Figure 6-18, Page 6-15). See
following NOTE.
NOTE: Place a plastic bag around the master cylinder to catch brake fluid before the brake hose is removed. Once the
hose is removed, wrap the bag around the master cylinder to prevent debris from entering the brake hose port.
3. Cover the fittings on the brake hoses with plastic bags and wire ties to keep any dirt or debris from entering the
hydraulic brake system.
4. Remove bow tie locking pin and clevis pin from master cylinder push rod (Figure 6-19, Page 6-15).
