1997 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP, 4D SedanSECTION Reassembly
  1. To assemble master cylinder and ABS modulator, lubricate NEW transfer tube "O" rings and NEW through-bolt "O" rings with clean brake fluid. Install NEW transfer tubes with "O" rings into ABS modulator. Install NEW through-bolt "O" rings into master cylinder and ABS modulator.
  2. Clamp mounting flange of master cylinder in a soft-jawed vise. Assemble master cylinder to ABS modulator. Ensure transfer tubes and "O" rings are not damaged during assembly. Tighten ABS modulator-to-master cylinder through-bolts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONSΒ .
