I just did my 89 Toy Van-yours should be similar... Remove the screws that hold the plastic trim around the steering wheel. Pull the instrument cluster out of the way; you'll probably have to pull the speedometer cable out of the cluster. Drain the reservoir of brake fluid and remove the old master cylinder. Follow directions in rebuild kit or directions with the new unit. Install the new cylinder and bench bleed it BEFORE you reconnect the lines. After you connect the lines, you have to bleed the whole system if there is any softness in the pedal. Watch where brake fluid goes because it is very slippery and will remove paint. Use only new brake fluid and recycle the old fluid, please.

What are the symptoms of a bad brake master cylinder?

A symptom you almost always feel is a brake pedal that will not hold. You stop, hold the brake, and the pedal will slowly move toward the floor. This is a sure sign the master cylinder is bad. A leaking master cylinder or one that sticks, is also a sign is is defective. When you replace the master cylinder replace all the brake fluid in the brake system and bleed the brakes. Moisture in the brake fluid will destroy a master cylinder and this may be why it failed.Brake fluid leaking from the master cylinder. When you stop and hold your foot on the break the brake pedal will slowly go to the floor. Either of these symptoms means your master cylinder must be replaced.

Good time to replace all the brake fluid. Remove the brake lines from the Master Cylinder and pump the master cylinder dry. Add fresh brake fluid from an unopened can and bleed the master cylinder. Reinstall the brake lines and then bleed all brake lines until you see clean fluid. Keep adding fluid to the Master Cylinder until you are done.Good time to replace all the brake fluid.
