2010 Chevrolet Traverse Brake Master Cylinder

You shall lubricate the seals and the outer surface area of the reservoir-ta-housing barrels with GM-approved brake fluid from a clean, sealed brake fluid container, place the new lubricated seals on the reservoir-to-housing barrels before installing the reservoir to the master cylinder housing, and fill the brake master cylinder reservoir.

The recommended torque is 20 N.m (15 lb-ft).

You shall remove the brake fluid from the brake master cylinder reservoir, the air cleaner element, and the windshield washer solvent heater if equipped.

The procedure is to turn the ignition switch to the off position, apply the brake pedal several times, and remove the air cleaner element, the brake fluid, and the windshield washer solvent heater,.

You shall visually inspect the brake fluid level. If the level is at or below the half-full point, the brake system should be inspected for wear and possible brake fluid leaks. If the level is at or below the half-full point, and an inspection of the brake system did not reveal wear or brake fluid leaks, the brake fluid may be topped-off up to the maximum-fill level. If brake system service was just completed, the brake fluid may be topped-off up to the maximum-fill level. If the level is above the half-full point, adding brake fluid is not recommended under normal conditions. And if the brake fluid is to be added to the master cylinder reservoir, you shall clean the outside of the reservoir on and around the reservoir cap before removing the cap and diaphragm.
