Brake Master Cylinder Reassembly
NOTE:
  • Clean all the parts in brake fluid and air dry; blow out all passages with compressed air.
  • Before reassembling, check that all the parts are free of dust and other foreign particles.
  • Replace parts with new ones whenever specified to do so.
  • Use only genuine Honda DOT 3 or DOT 4 Brake Fluid. Non-Honda brake fluid can cause corrosion and shorten the life of the system.
  • Do not mix different brands of brake fluid as they may no be compatible.
  • Replace the master cylinder if the bore is damaged or worn. Do not hone or attempt to refinish the bore.
  • Coat the piston cups, pressure cup and master cylinder bore with clean brake fluid.
  • Use recommended greases in the master cylinder seal set.
