Start the car. Place you foot on the brake and hold steady pressure. If the brake pedal slowly moves toward the floor, you need to replace the master cylinder.
my husband is trying to replace the master cylinder on a 1994 grand am. he was wondering on how to align the gears for the abs.
Probably need to replace the brake cyclinders if the master cylinder is ok.
you need to take off the master cylinder and the accumulator and replace it with a master cylinder from a non antilock vehicle like a thunderbird or cougar from about 1985 to 1988.
A brake master cylinder? If you are losing brakes or brake fluid.
You will need to bleed the brakes, starting from the caliper furthese from the master cylinder then moving closer.
If you are talking about the brake master, then remove this as a complete unit, and replace it as a complete unit. You do want your brakes to work the next time you need them...............
This is a far reaching question that needs more clarification. There are cylinders where the pistons are located. If you have a clutch then you have a clutch master and slave cylinder. On the brakes you have a master cylinder and wheel cylinders. And the beat goes on. You need to distinguish as to which cylinder you are referring.
you either need a new brake master cylinder or your brakes need to be bled
you either need to bleed your brakes, add fluid or get a master cylinder darrellshandyman@live.com
First thing I would do is check the fluid level in the Master Cylinder, and bleed the brakes. Start at RR, then LR, RF, and end up at LF, making sure you keep the Master Cylinder full at all times. If that does not help, replace the Master Cylinder.First thing I would do is check the fluid level in the Master Cylinder, and bleed the brakes.

Possibly, sometimes the brake cylinder develops rust and sticks. If a cylinder has problems I find it easier to replace the whole cylinder or caliper.
You need to "bleed" the brakes at each wheel. R
