Integrated Control Unit: Removing
-- Disconnect negative (-) battery cable from battery post and isolate.
-- Using a brake pedal holding tool as shown, depress brake pedal past its first inch of travel and hold it in this position. Holding pedal in this position will isolate master cylinder from hydraulic brake system and will not allow brake fluid to drain out of brake fluid reservoir while brake lines are open.
-- Remove the primary (1) and secondary (2) brake tubes (from master cylinder) at the hydraulic control unit.
-- Remove the remaining brake tubes (3, 4, 5, 6) at the hydraulic control unit.
