• Q: How to service and repair the Brake Master Cylinder on 2002 Toyota Corolla?

  A: The first step to service and repair the Brake Master Cylinder includes disconnecting the level warning switch connector followed by fluid removal using a syringe while maintaining brake fluid away from the painted surfaces. You should use Special Service Tool: 09023-00100 to disconnect brake lines and tighten them with 13 Nm (133 kgf-cm, 10 ft. lbs.). When servicing the master cylinder from vehicles without ABS, begin by removing the 3 nuts to extract the master cylinder together with the vacuum check valve bracket and the 3-way and also extracting the gasket through a torque of 13 Nm (130 kgf-cm, 9 ft. lbs.). The procedure to remove the master cylinder for ABS vehicles requires detachment of mounting nuts then extraction of the master cylinder along with vacuum check valve bracket and gasket at 13 Nm (130 kgf-cm, 9 ft. lbs.). The brake booster push rod length must undergo adjustment before installing the components back into place according to removal sequence. The system requires brake fluid insertion during installation followed by brake system bleeding as well as leak examination before confirming proper brake pedal adjustment.
