2010 Scion tC Brake Master Cylinder Parts Q&A

• Q: How to install the brake master cylinder on 2010 Scion tC?

  A: Two nuts should fasten the master cylinder that sits on the No. 1 way while torqued to 12.5 Nm (127 kgf-cm, 9 ft-lbf). Two reservoir tubes need to be connected to the master cylinder by using clips. Among the required tools for this installation is Special Service Tool 09023-00101 which allows operators to fasten the 2 brake tubes to the No.1 way and apply torque at 15 Nm (155 kgf-cm, 11 ft-lbf without the tool / 14 Nm (143 kgf-cm, 10 ft-lbf with tool), with a torque wrench functioning from a 30 cm (11.81 in.) point. The 2 brake tubes need to be linked to the master cylinder based on the specified torque standards. Fasten the air cleaner cap sub-assembly followed by mounting the lower cowl body bracket LH with 13 Nm (133 kgf-cm, 10 ft-lbf) torque on the bolt. Secure the No. 1 cowl water extract hose with its clip before attaching the outer cowl top panel by tightening 7 bolts to 13 Nm (133 kgf-cm, 10 ft-lbf). Brake fluid should be filled into the reservoir before performing air bleeding from the brake master cylinder and brake line. Check the brake fluid level in the reservoir then inspect for fluid leaks. The final task entails mounting the windshield wiper motor and link followed by the cowl top ventilator louver LH and the hood to cowl top seal and finishing with the windshield wiper arm and blade assembly LH and RH and the front wiper arm head cap.
