First things first. Compare the old to the new to make sure you have the correct replacement parts. And always SAFETY FIRST. To replace the master cylinder you will need to remove the air filter cover and snorkle tube. Remove the wiring harness from the mastercylinder reservoir then disconnect all four brake lines from it. Next remove the two retaining screws securing it to the brake booster.Transfer all needed items to your new master cylinder and put back on in reverse order. Bleed all four brake lines at the master cylinder and at the wheels and you are off and running again.

The master cylinder is behind the the speedo cluster, pull on the top cover of the cluster dash to access master cylinder. remove the screws the secure speedo cluster and unplug wire harness to light switch,dash lights ect. I used a turkey baster to remove brake fluid. using a metric open end wrench remove brake lines, then remove the to nuts off the servo that holds the master cylinder to the bus. I stuffed old rages in the dash around the master cylinder to catch fluids or nuts if they fell. Remove master cylinder by pulling it straight out of servo then once clear pull up and out of dash. Most replacement cylinder don't come with a reservior, use the old one by carefully and firmly "pop" it out and install in the replacement. reverse instructions to reinstall. once done fill master with clean DOT3 and then bleed brake lines.


How do you push back the brake caliper piston on a 1972 subaru leone. The handbrake is also connected 2 the front calipers.?

You will need to remove the cover from the brake fluid reservoir on the master cylinder. Then you'll need to use what is known as a C-clamp to drive the piston back in so you can replace the brake pads. Be sure you bleed the brake system and return the brake fluid reservoir cover.


How do you replace master cylinder on 66 charger?

un bolt old master cylinder from vacuum chamber. take brake lines loose first. Put the new master cylinder in a vise, fill with fluid, take a round item and push in on the back side where the brake rod usually pushes. As the fluid starts coming out the air will also. Cover the holes as you let up on the rod you are using to bleed with. When air quits coming out refill reservior , reinstall , you shouldn't have to bleed the brakes if this was done correctly

Remove brake lines from master cylinder. Remove the two bolts attaching master cylinder to vacuum booster. remove vacuum hose from vacuum booster. It just pulls out of booster but will give you a little resistence. Remove cover above gas and brake pedals on drivers side floor board. While laying on your back or right arm look up into dash and find and disconnect brake pedal linkage/rod from brake pedal (there is usually a pin with a clip holding this together). Then remove 4 bolts attaching vacuum booster to fire wall. Go back under hood and remove vacuum booster.
