chrysler1941 Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 From the manual 12. REMOVAL OF MASTER CYLINDER. - Disconnect the brake line tubes at the master cylinder. Disconnect brake pedal from master cylinder. Remove the bolts which attach master cylinder to chassis and lift out the master cylinder assembly.

Bob Ritter Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 Someone has already told you how to remove the master cylinder, one thing people don't always do is bench bleed the cylinder before installing to remove the air. Secure it in a bench vise run lines from the port to the reservoir and fill with fluid, start pumping the pedal until the air is out. When you go to bleeding the brakes start at the farthest cylinder from the master cylinder. I would suggest using Dot 3 brake fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
