Hand Brake Lever/

Master Cylinder

Assembly

NOTE: The master cylinder is a non-serviceable

component; it must be replaced as an assembly.

REMOVING

1. Slide a piece of flexible tubing over one of the

wheel bleeder valves and direct the other end into

a container. Remove the reservoir cover; then open

the bleeder valve. Allow the brake fluid to drain

completely.

NOTE: Compressing the brake lever several

times will quicken the draining process.

2. Place an absorbent towel around the connection to

absorb brake fluid. Remove the banjo-fitting bolt

from the master cylinder. Account for two crush

washers and a banjo-fitting bolt.

! CAUTION

Brake fluid is highly corrosive. Do not spill brake fluid

on any surface of the ATV.

3. Remove the clamp screws securing the brake

housing to the handlebar, then remove the assem-

bly from the handlebar.

INSPECTING

NOTE: Whenever a part is worn excessively,

cracked, or damaged in any way, replacement is

necessary.

1. Inspect the pin securing the brake lever for wear.

2. Inspect the brake lever for elongation of the pivot

hole.

3. Inspect the reservoir for cracks and leakage.

4. Inspect the banjo-fitting and bolt for cracks and

deterioration and the condition of the fittings

(threaded and compression).
