When to replace the master cylinder for your car?

4 criteria that should indicate the need to change the master cylinder:

• - Visible fluid leaks from the master cylinder or tank.
• - A pedal feel that feels loose, soft or too low. Internal seals in the piston may be in poor condition and may be responsible for internal leaks.
• - The colour of the brake fluid can be an indicator if it just becomes colourless it may then be that it is caught by moisture or external particles.
• - An electronic warning light on your dashboard may be caused by a problem with the master cylinder, which you should check first.

How to dismantle a brake master cylinder?

You can now unscrew the filler cap of the hydraulic fluid tank and place a plastic sheet on the tank before closing the cap. This will create a vacuum that will prevent too much fluid loss and will simplify the bleeding of the system when reassembling.

If your car is not equipped with a brake booster you will need to remove the pin holding the master cylinder control rod or clevis to the brake pedal all located inside your car. Fold down the arms of the pin and when removing it, make sure you don't lose the washers before removing the small pin ? Once the clevis is finally free, loosen the nuts of the pipes under the bonnet as well as those holding the master cylinder.

If your car is well equipped with a brake booster, the task will be simplified. You will need to unscrew the nuts on the pipes and remove the nuts on the master cylinder. Take note of the position of the seal between the master cylinder and the servo and clean it with a sealing cloth.

The billet should be the same length as the original, perhaps your model can adjust its length with a screw system. Uncouple it so that the master cylinder can be removed. Take care to keep the clevis and screw without forcing the nuts which must be screwed in the master cylinder that you have just installed. Do not force the nut.

Now make sure that the hand pedal movement is free when you have moved it. You can now replace the master cylinder with the nuts and washers and reconnect the pipes.
