2002 Toyota Tundra Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: Service requirements for the Brake Master Cylinder start with disconnecting the level warning switch connector then using a syringe to drain fluid while making sure the brake fluid stays off painted areas. Special Service Tool: 09023-00100 enables brake line detachment from the master cylinder to 3-way or 4-way. Proper torque must be applied as 15 Nm (155 kgf-cm, 11 ft. lbs.) when unfastening the five or six brake lines. Take out the 2 nuts, wire harness bracket 3-way, and check valve bracket during removal when using ABS brakes according to the 13 Nm (130 kgf-cm, 9 ft. lbs.) torque setting. Absence of ABS requires 2 nut removal, 4-way wire harness bracket removal and check valve bracket removal at this same torque specification. Prise the master cylinder off from the brake booster assembly. The installation process begins by undoing the removal steps but requires adjustment of brake booster push rod length before final installation. Post-installation requires brake fluid in the reservoir followed by brake system bleeding and leak assessment and brake pedal calibration.
