REPLACING BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER
TOOLS NEEDED:
ABSORBING MATERIAL (for containing spills)
TORX T30 WRENCH
TORX T20 WRENCH
14mm WRENCH
DRIP PAN
ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL
Note: It is important to keep the CooLift upright at all times.
CAUTION:
DOT 3 and DOT 4 brake fluids are a slip hazard on any flooring surface.
Brake fluid will strip paint; any spills on a painted surface should be wiped up and
rinsed with isopropyl alcohol immediately.
Brake fluid can be an irritant to human tissue and should be washed off in flowing
water.
If brake fluid is exposed to the eye, flush immediately and continuously for 15
minutes.
1)
Place the CooLift on a level flooring surface.
2) Remove the two screws that hold the master cylinder (A) to the horizontal brace using the T30
wrench.
3) Hold the master cylinder (A) to be replaced above the drip pan and remove the reservoir cover (C)
by removing two screws (B) using the T20 wrench and pour the fluid into the drip pan. NO
TE
: Do
not squeeze the brake lever while the reservoir cover is off because it may introduce air into the
system.
4) Position the new master cylinder (A) in place on the horizontal grip and tighten into place using the
T30 wrench.
5)
Take the reservoir cover (C) off the new master cylinder using the T20 wrench and fill it to the full
line with DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid.
6) Hold the old master cylinder (A) in the upright position and remove the master cylinder brake line
(F) by removing the banjo bolt (E) using the 14mm wrench. NO
TE
: There will be a copper crush
washer (D) on both sides of the banjo fitting.
7) Mount the master cylinder brake line (F) to the new master cylinder (A) taking care to hold it
upright until it is position to keep as much fluid within the line as possible.
8)
With the cover off the brake fluid reservoir slowly depress the brake lever approximately one
half of its full stroke four or five times to allow as much air to escape from the brake system as
possible.
9) Replace the reservoir cover (C) and tighten the screws (B) with the T20 wrench.
10) Check the brake system for proper functioning.
11) If the system seems to be squishy or not functioning properly there may be some air trapped in
the lines and they will need to be bled (see Bleeding the Brakes).
