Installation Procedure
- Install the master cylinder to the brake booster.
- Install the master cylinder nuts.
- Connect the brake pipes to the master cylinder, if previously removed.
- Connect the electrical connector to the brake fluid level switch.
- Refill the master cylinder reservoir.

Tighten
Tighten the master cylinder nuts to 29 N·m (21 lb ft).
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Tighten
Tighten the brake pipe to the master cylinder tube nuts to 16 N·m
(12 lb ft).
