Removal and Installation

CAUTION:

• Be careful not to splash brake fluid on painted areas; it may cause paint damage. If brake fluid is splashed on painted areas, wash it away with water immediately.
• Never scratch the piston of master cylinder when installing/removing because the piston is exposed. Check for any dust on the piston, and wash with brake fluid if needed.
• Hold the master cylinder body when handing the master cylinder assembly. Never hold the piston because the piston might become detached if pulled strongly.
• Refill the reservoir tank with new brake fluid "DOT 3".
• Never reuse drained brake fluid.
