Assembly
NOTE: The master cylinder is a non-serviceable
component; it must be replaced as an assembly.
REMOVING

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.
