  Q: What precautions should be taken when handling brake fluid and installing a Brake Master Cylinder on Mazda B2200?

  A:

  Always ensure that the brake fluid is not spilt on a painted area as it will destroy the paint. In case of removal of the reservoir due to any reasons new grommets of mountings must be installed. When the cylinder has been emptied of the fluid, it is possible that it is easier to bench bleed the cylinder before installation. Clearance between the power booster pushrod and the master cylinder piston: This should be checked before installation. Start by wiping the master cylinder and lines of all dirt and grease and then unscrew and capped the brake lines off the master cylinder. Then disconnect the fluid level sensor coupling, where provided, unbolt and take the master cylinder out of the firewall or power booster, and service as necessary, changing the cylinder to booster mounting gasket. Install the mounting nuts (loosely) and also install the master cylinder and connect all the hydraulic lines without fully securing them at this point. Mounting nuts should be tightened to specification then the hydraulic lines tightened. Last but not least fill and bleed the system, and check the operation.

  Q: How to ensure the proper maintenance of the Brake Master Cylinder and its brake fluid on Mazda B2200?

  A:

  Only a good quality brake fluid that is DOT-3 compliant should be used. When examining the amount of fluid in the brake master cylinder, it is necessary to park the truck on a flat surface. In the event the vehicle lacks a transparent reservoir, wipe down the surrounding around the master cylinder reservoir cover. Slowly lift the lid off the master cylinder reservoir and be careful not to spill brake fluid on painted surfaces because it will damage paint. The level of the fluid must not exceed 1/4 inch of the top of the reservoir, or the FULL mark, in transparent reservoirs. In case of any brake fluid requirement, make sure it is of the required DOT-3 specifications. Add fluid to keep the appropriate level and tightly reattach the lid on the master cylinder reservoir, when needed. The regularly decreasing fluid level might be the indication of other problems in the system that are to be examined.
