How to overhaul the brake master cylinder on 2003 Toyota Camry?

Question

Accepted Answer

The first step to overhaul the brake master cylinder involves draining brake fluid while cleaning all painted surface spills instantly. First disconnect connector wires from the level warning switch then remove both the air cleaner assembly and the brake master cylinder sub-assembly. The brake tube disconnection requires Special Service Tool: 09023-00100 for non-ABS equipped models but models with ABS need tool usage for 6 brake tubes. The brake master cylinder sub-assembly and its attached 3-way or 2-way components can be pulled out after the removal of two nuts. The brake master cylinder reservoir filler cap assembly and the reservoir strainer must be separated first before disassembly of the reservoir sub-assembly using its screw. Extract both grommets installed on the master cylinder reservoirs. Application of a vise allows for master cylinder installation when performing VSC-free procedures. The O-ring should be removed before pushing the piston and employing snap ring pliers to extract the snap ring. Steer the piston input until the piston stopper bolt together with its gasket become removable before carefully extracting the No. 1 piston sub-assembly straight out. Place a cloth waste material and two wooden blocks under the master cylinder before tapping it gently to make the No. 2 piston sub-assembly drop out. Maintain a vertical motion while doing this to protect the cylinder bore from damage. Model VSC owners should continue the installation process the same way but must disconnect the straight pin after using a screwdriver to push the piston. Check the body of the master cylinder for signs of rust alongside any noticeable scores on its surface. Install new No. 1 and No. 2 piston sub-assemblies onto the brake master cylinder having applied lithium soap base glycol grease on them. Align the piston straight for protection during installation. Begin by installing the new gasket and piston stopper bolt while performing a torque of 10 Nm (100 kgf-cm, 7 ft. lbs.) and subsequently installing the snap ring. New O-rings must receive application of grease before proceeding with their installation. The installation process of brake master cylinder kit for models with VSC starts with same initial steps where No. 2 piston needs proper positioning before installing straight pin and snap ring. First apply grease to both master cylinder grommet seals then add them after securing the reservoir sub-assembly with its screw before adding the strainer with filler cap assembly. Use Special Service Tool: 09737-00012 to check the brake booster push rod pin alignment with the piston while adjusting its length with Special Service Tool: 09737-00020 until the pin touches lightly at its tip. The brake master cylinder sub-assembly goes last with correct brake tube fitting according to set torque values before the level warning switch connector gets reattached. The reservoir must get filled with brake fluid and bleeding should occur with Special Service Tool: 09023-00100 before reinstalling the air cleaner assembly while inspecting reservoir fluid levels and brake fluid leaks.
