• Q: How to service and repair the Brake Master Cylinder on 2001 Toyota Tundra?

  A: The first step for Brake Master Cylinder service and repairs involves disconnecting the level warning switch connector while using a syringe to remove fluid and keeping fluid away from painted surfaces. Use Special Service Tool: 09023-00100 to disconnect the 5 or 6 brake lines from the master cylinder and 3-way or 4-way by applying torque to 15 Nm (155 kgf-cm, 11 ft. lbs). You must discard 2 nuts alongside wire harness bracket 3-way and check valve bracket for removal during operations on vehicles with ABS systems when using a torque of 13 Nm (130 kgf-cm, 9 ft. lbs.). The removal procedure on vehicles without ABS systems requires removal of the 2 nuts together with wire harness bracket 4-way and check valve bracket at exactly the same torque value. Extract the master cylinder out from its position in the brake booster. When reassembling the brake booster addresse the push rod length before performing installation. The braking process begins with fluid addition into the reservoir followed by system bleeding along with leakage and brake pedal examination.
