INSTALLING THE REAR BRAKE MASTER
CYLINDER
1. Install:
• Copper washers
• Brake hose (rear brake master cylinder to
brake pipe/middle joint assembly) “1”
• Rear brake hose union bolt “2”
EWA1MC1014
Proper brake hose routing is essential to in-
sure safe vehicle operation. Refer to “CABLE
ROUTING” on page 2-47.
ECA14160
When installing the brake hose onto the
brake master cylinder, make sure the brake
pipe touches the projection “a” as shown.
2. Install:
• Rear brake light switch “1”
Install the rear brake light switch spring as
shown in the illustration.
3. Fill:
• Brake fluid reservoir
(with the specified amount of the specified
brake fluid)
EWA13090
• Use only the designated brake fluid. Other
brake fluids may cause the rubber seals to
deteriorate, causing leakage and poor
brake performance.
• Refill with the same type of brake fluid that
is already in the system. Mixing brake fluids
may result in a harmful chemical reaction,
leading to poor brake performance.
• When refilling, be careful that water does
not enter the brake fluid reservoir. Water
will significantly lower the boiling point of
the brake fluid and could cause vapor lock.
ECA13540
Brake fluid may damage painted surfaces
and plastic parts. Therefore, always clean up
any spilt brake fluid immediately.
