• Q: How to install the brake master cylinder on 2008 Scion tC?

  A: Installation of the brake master cylinder requires the use of 2 nuts with 12.5 Nm torque (127 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf) to fix the master cylinder with No. 1 way. Secure the master cylinder and No. 1 way using 2 nuts at 12.5 Nm (127 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf) torque. The master cylinder reservoir tubes must be connected with clips before proceeding. Install the 2 brake tubes on the No. 1 way by using Special Service Tool: 09023-00101 to secure them in place with a torque of 15 Nm (155 kgf-cm, 11 ft-lbf) and 14 Nm (143 kgf-cm, 10 ft-lbf) through a torque wrench with a 30 cm (11.81 in.) fulcrum length. Use the same tool to fasten the brake tubes to the master cylinder according to the specified torque values. Fasten the air cleaner cap sub-assembly before attaching the lower cowl body mounting bracket LH and tightening its bolt to 13 Nm (133 kgf-cm, 10 ft-lbf). The installation process requires a clip for the No. 1 cowl water extract hose before securing the outer cowl top panel through 7 bolts at 13 Nm (133 kgf-cm, 10 ft-lbf). Brake fluid both fills the reservoir then you should bleed air from the brake master cylinder and brake line followed by checking the brake fluid level in the reservoir before inspecting for leaks. The windshield wiper motor and link, cowl top ventilator louver LH, and hood to cowl top seal should be installed before attaching the windshield wiper arm and blade assemblies for both LH and RH sides and finally ending the process with the front wiper arm head cap.
