• Q: How to service and repair the Brake Master Cylinder on 2004 Toyota Celica?

  A: The first step to repair or service the Brake Master Cylinder requires removing the battery while disconnecting the level warning switch connector. A syringe removes fluid from the system as long as brake fluid stays away from painted components. The procedure for manual transmission requires disconnecting the reservoir hose followed by brake line removal. Special Service Tool 09023-00100 serves to remove five brake lines and a 3-way union using a torque setting of 15 Nm (155 kgf-cm, 11 ft. lbs.). Vehicles with ABS need exclusive line removal at the same torque. Start by removing the master cylinder once you have detached its 2 mounting nuts with 13 Nm (130 kgf-cm, 9 ft. lbs.) torque; on ABS-free vehicles pull out the check valve bracket and 3-way and master cylinder but on ABS-equipped vehicles only remove the check valve bracket and master cylinder and take off the master cylinder gasket. Begin by pulling the stopper from the reservoir while making sure the installation will succeed by guiding the stopper through the reservoir holes as well as the master cylinder groove. After that remove the reservoir together with the 2 grommets and then remove the cap and strainer from the reservoir. The installation process follows the opposite sequence of removal steps while adjusting the brake booster push rod length and performing brake fluid filling of the reservoir followed by brake system bleeding then leak testing before executing a brake pedal examination and adjustment.
