ASSEMBLY OF BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER. (Refer to Figure 32-18.)
—NOTE—
Use a small amount of hydraulic fluid (MIL-H-5606) on the O-
ring and component parts to prevent damage and ease of
handling during reassembly.
1. Install new O-rings on the inside and outside of the packing gland and on the outside of the piston.
(When installing teflon O-ring on piston, it is recommended that it be installed with the use of a cone
placed against the piston. The cone may be constructed of plastic or metal with dimensions shown in Figure
