Brake Pedal and Master Cylinder
Master Cylinder Inspectio n
•
Disassemble the master cylinder (see Brake Master
Cylinder Cup and Dust Seal Replacement in the Periodic
Maintenance chapter).
•
Check that there are no scratches, rust or pitting on the
inside of the cylinder [A] and on the outside of the pistons
[B].
If the cylinder or piston shows any damage, replace them.
•
Inspect the primary cups [C] and secondary cups [D].
If a cup is worn, damaged, softened (rotted), or swollen,
replace it.
If fluid leakage is noted at the brake push rod, the sec-
ondary cup of the rear piston should be replaced.
•
Check the dust cover [E] for damage.
If it is damaged, replace it.
•
Check that the relief [F] and supply [G] ports are not
plugged.
If the small relief port becomes plugged, the brake shoes
will drag on the drum. Blow the ports clean with com-
pressed air.
•
Check the piston return springs [H] for any damage.
If the spring is damaged, replace it.
