Not hard. Posted by RS [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: how hard to rebuild the master?, Alex C., Thu, 27 Jan 2005 10:29:05 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Assuming that there's no pitting inside the cylinder, it's an easy job.
Getting it in and out of the car is harder than the actual rebuild. I found that having a 13-mm crowsfoot wrench and a long extension with a wobble fitting is very helpful for removing the flare fitting for the hydraulic line.
You can access the master cylinder mounting nuts and clevis pin without removing the lower dash if you're good at finding your way around under there by touch.
On the master cylinder in my car, it was difficult to get the piston out because there was a little ring of varnish around the rear opening to the master cylinder. I pushed it in as far as I could, cleaned the varnish up with brake cleaner and some fine emery paper, then rinsed it out with brake cleaner and brake fluid a few times. It came out easily after that. Be careful of grit.
