Abstract

A method is described for detecting an incorrectly installed seal in a master-cylinder having a seal. The master cylinder is subjected to a pressure comprised between approximately 0.3 and 0.6 MPa at the conclusion of master-cylinder assembly and, if there is a drop in the pressure, the seal is considered to have been installed in reverse in the groove of the master cylinder.
