–  Carefully insert brake servo and tighten nuts.
–  When assembling brake master cylinder with brake servo, make sure push rod is properly positioned in brake master cylinder.
–  When joining brake master cylinder to brake servo, make sure seal → Item is properly seated.
–  Ensure that seals → Item are correctly seated in brake master cylinder.
–  Moisten sealing plugs → Item with brake fluid before pressing brake fluid reservoir into brake master cylinder.
–  Connect brake pedal to brake servo → Chapter.
