IMPORTANT
Ensure the tab stops that the collars come into contact with are not bent in any way
(Photo 59). This will affect how the plunger pin sits when the opposite brake is applied.
Any deformity in the tab could cause the plunger pin to become misaligned with it's
own steering arm during the application of the opposite brake.
4. Thread the plunger pins until the master cylinder plunger piston is ush with the cast-
ing of the master cylinder. Photo 61 Re-tighten all plunger pin jam nuts and reinstall
rubber boot.

Hydraulic Brake Hoses Maintenance Schedule
Inspect every 25 hrs. of vehicle operation.
1. Inspect the condition of the hydraulic hoses. Replace them if:
• the hoses are cracked or punctured
• brake uid leakage is noted on the hose, nearby assemblies, or around hose ttings
2. Perform the servicing procedure, Replacing the Hydraulic Brake Hoses, below
Replacing the Hydraulic Brake Hoses
IMPORTANT
Clean the master cylinder casing and the caliper casting and ttings. This will pre-
vent dirt from contaminating the brake system. Contaminants in the brake uid can
damage components or cause a loss in braking or steering effectiveness.
1. Remove cover and gasket seal from the master cylinder reservoir.
2. Disconnect the hose from the caliper. Place a catch tray under the free end of the hy-
draulic hose and allow the hose and master cylinder reservoir to drain.
