AnswerMASTER CYLINDER
REMOVE
CAUTION: On ABS equipped vehicles, vacuum in power booster must be pumped down before removing master cylinder to prevent booster from sucking in any contamination. This can be done simply by pumping the brake pedal until a firm pedal is achieved, with the ignition off.
On ABS equipped vehicles, be sure engine is not running, and pump the brake pedal until a firm pedal is achieved (4-5 strokes)
Remove vehicle wiring harness connector, from brake fluid level sensor, in master cylinder brake fluid reservoir Master Cylinder Fluid Level Sensor
Disconnect the primary and secondary brake tubes from the master cylinder Primary And Secondary Brake Tubes W/O ABS Brakes and Primary And Secondary Brake Tubes With ABS Brakes Install plugs at all open brake tube outlets on master cylinder assembly.
On vehicles equipped with ABS, clean area where master cylinder attaches to booster using a suitable brake cleaner product such as Mopar Brake Parts Cleaner or an equivalent.
Remove the 2 nuts Master Cylinder Mounting To Vacuum Booster attaching master cylinder housing to power brake vacuum booster.
Slide master cylinder assembly straight out of the power brake vacuum booster
CAUTION: On vehicles equipped with ABS, the master cylinder is used to create the seal for holding vacuum in the power brake vacuum booster. The vacuum seal in the front of the power brake vacuum booster Removing Seal From Vacuum Booster MUST be replaced whenever the master cylinder is removed from the power brake vacuum booster.
If vehicle is equipped with ABS, remove vacuum seal Removing Seal From Vacuum Booster located in the front of the power brake vacuum booster. Vacuum seal is removed by carefully inserting a small screw driver between the push rod of the power brake vacuum booster and vacuum seal Removing Seal From Vacuum Booster and pry seal out of power brake vacuum booster. Do not attempt to pry seal out of master cylinder by inserting a tool between seal and power brake vacuum booster.
BLEEDING MASTER CYLINDER
Clamp the master cylinder in a vise. Attach Bleeding Tubes, Special Tool 6802 to the master cylinder Bleeding Tubes Attached to ABS Master Cylinder and Bleeding Tubes Attached To Non-ABS Master Cylinder Position tubes so outlets of Bleeding Tubes will be below surface of brake fluid when reservoir is filled to proper level.
Fill brake fluid reservoir with brake fluid conforming to DOT 3 specifications such as Mopar or an Equivalent.
Using a wooden dowel per Bleeding Master Cylinder , depress push rod slowly and then allow pistons to return to released position. Repeat several times until all air bubbles are expelled.
Remove bleeding tubes from master cylinder outlet ports, plug outlet ports and install fill cap on reservoir.
Remove master cylinder from vise
NOTE: Note: It is not necessary to bleed the entire hydraulic system after replacing the master cylinder. But the master cylinder must have been bled and filled upon installation.
INSTALL
CAUTION: When replacing the master cylinder on a vehicle equipped with ABS, a NEW vacuum seal MUST be installed in the power brake vacuum booster. Use only the procedure detailed below for installing vacuum seal into power brake vacuum booster. Be sure old vacuum seal is removed from power brake vacuum booster before attempting to install new seal.
CAUTION: When lubricating master cylinder push rod, use only Mopar Silicone Dielectric Compound. Using any other type of grease or lubricant on the push rod, will not provide adequate long term lubrication of the push rod.
Lubricate master cylinder push rod as indicated in Lubricating Master Cylinder Push Rod only using Mopar Dielectric Grease - And No Substitutes. Refer to the Mopar Chemicals Catalog to obtain the required lubricant.
Install vacuum seal on master cylinder push rod as shown in Installing Vacuum Seal On Master Cylinder Push Rod with notches on vacuum seal pointing toward master cylinder housing. Then slide vacuum seal onto master push rod until seal is seated against master cylinder housing Vacuum Seal Positioned For Installing Master Cinder before installing master cylinder on power brake vacuum booster.
CAUTION: If vehicle is equipped with ABS, be sure old vacuum seal is removed from power brake vacuum booster before attempting to install master cylinder and NEW vacuum seal. If vacuum seal is not removed, refer to Master Cylinder Removal in this section of the MDS2 for required vacuum seal removal procedure.
Position master cylinder on studs of power brake unit, aligning push rod on power brake vacuum booster with master cylinder push rod.
Install the 2 master cylinder to power brake unit mounting nuts Master Cylinder Mounting To Vacuum Booster and torque to 28 N·m (250 in. lbs.) torque.
Connect brake tubes to master cylinder primary and secondary ports Primary And Secondary Brake Tubes W/O ABS Brakes and Primary And Secondary Brake Tubes With ABS Brakes Torque all tube nuts to 17 N·m (145 in. lbs.) torque
