2002 Toyota Tacoma Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: Service of the Brake Master Cylinder starts with removing connectors and wire harnesses of the level warning switch from the bracket. A syringe should be used for draining fluid but brake fluid must be wiped off painted surfaces right away since these contacts need immediate washing. The 3 brake lines should be disconnected using Special Service Tool: 09023-00100 before extracting the brake line from both master cylinder and 3-way while applying 15 Nm (155 kgf-cm, 11 ft. lbs.) torque. Begin master cylinder removal by unfastening its 2 nuts along with wire harness bracket, 3-way, check valve bracket and master cylinder (13 Nm torque). After removing the brake booster push rod, adjust its length before reversing the steps for installation. After brake system setup users must perform fluid filling of the reservoir followed by brake bleeding procedures before leak checks and brake pedal adjustment.
