inder Removal in the Brakes chapter).

Master Cylinder Assembly
Before assembly, clean all parts including the master
cylinder with brake fluid or alcohol.
Apply brake fluid to the new parts and to the inner wall
of the cylinder.
Take care not to scratch the piston or the inner wall of
the cylinder.
Tighten the brake lever pivot bolt and locknut.
Apply silicone grease.

NOITUAC
Except for the disc pads and disc, use only disc
brake fluid, isopropyl alcohol, or ethyl alcohol for
cleaning brake parts. Do not use any other fluid
for cleaning these parts. Gasoline, engine oil, or
any other petroleum distillate will cause deterio-
ration of the rubber parts. Oil spilled on any part
will be difficult to wash off completely, and will
eventually deteriorate the rubber used in the disc
brake.
