2000 Toyota Celica Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the Brake Master Cylinder on 2000 Toyota Celica?

  A: Start the Brake Master Cylinder service and repair process by taking off the battery and disconnecting the level warning switch connector. A syringe can draw brake fluid from the system while avoiding contact between fluid and automobile paint. Service action requires disconnecting the reservoir hose then removing the brake line from the master cylinder. Vehicles without ABS need the 09023-00100 Special Service Tool to remove five brake lines from the master cylinder as well as the 3-way union with a torque setting of 15 Nm (155 kgf-cm, 11 ft. lbs.). Vehicles with ABS need a similar tool to separate two brake lines from the master cylinder under the specified torque value. Start by removing the master cylinder through the process of unfastening its 2 mounting nuts with 13 Nm (130 kgf-cm, 9 ft. lbs.) torque; vehicles without ABS require pulling out the check valve bracket and 3-way and master cylinder whereas vehicles with ABS need only check valve bracket and master cylinder removal. The reservoir needs removal by first pulling out the reservoir stopper with caution to insert the stopper correctly through its holes into the master cylinder groove, then take out the reservoir along with two grommets before finally removing the cap and strainer from the reserve. First install the components in the reverse order of removal and adjust the brake booster push rod length before handover while following up with brake reservoir filling with fluid and brake system bleeding before leak checking and ending with brake pedal control assessment.
