2008 Toyota Avalon Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to install the brake master cylinder sub-assembly on 2008 Toyota Avalon?

  A: A new O-ring must be installed onto the brake master cylinder sub-assembly before you install it. Use 2 nuts to install the brake master cylinder sub-assembly and front brake tube way along with torquing them to 13 Nm (133 kgf-cm, 10 ft-lbf). You should now join the No. 1 front brake tube to the brake master cylinder sub-assembly. The 6 brake lines require connection using a 10 mm union nut wrench. The torque specifications should measure to 15 Nm (155 kgf-cm, 11 ft-lbf) and 14 Nm (143 kgf-cm, 11 ft-lbf). The torque wrench needs a 250 mm (9.84 in.) fulcrum length together with parallel placement of the union nut wrench to achieve precise torque values. Connect the connector while applying the clamp followed by brake fluid addition to the reservoir then proceed with bleeding the master cylinder followed by bleeding each brake line and the brake actuator that includes VSC functionality. The service procedure requires brake fluid leak examination and reservoir fluid check before installing the air cleaner cap alongside the hose.
