• Q: How to service and repair the brake master cylinder on 2001 Toyota MR2 Spyder?

  A: Service and repair work on the brake master cylinder should start with removal of the luggage compartment trim box cover while disconnecting the level warning switch connector. A syringe helps extract fluid from the brake system while you need to ensure that no brake fluid touches painted surfaces. The brake master cylinder removal begins by using Special Service Tool: 09023-00100 to disconnect brake lines first followed by the steps of unthreading 2 nuts while extracting the master cylinder and removing its O-ring. To install the master cylinder begin by placing a new O-ring then fasten the 2 nuts and torque them to 13 Nm (130 kgf-cm, 9 ft. lbs.). The master cylinder brake line connection requires Special Service Tool: 09023-00100 for a torque application of 15 Nm (155 kgf-cm, 11 ft. lbs.) combined with 14 Nm (143 kgf-cm, 10 ft. lbs.) when using the tool while utilizing a 30 cm (11.81 inch) torque wrench fulcrum. Complete the tube connection to level warning switch connector then start filling the reservoir with brake fluid while running the brake system bleed process. Inspection should be followed by a check of fluid leakage before adjusting the brake pedal and reinstalling the luggage compartment trim box cover.
