This section briefly
describes how to replace the manual (all drum) master cylinder.
There are upgrade options but I didn't have the time necessary for research,
anyway the rebuilt mast cly only cost me $25

Removal...
Its actually very simple. Remove the 4 nuts careful not to drop the small l shaped bracket on the top left bolt, I think it keeps the wires neat. That's
it, slide the old easy cly out, and remove the old gasket. I then
sanded & painted the area. On my car the mast cly had leaked
fluid on the firewall & rusted it a bit. The following is a
before I painted it with a matching color photo.

Installation...
The Spring... You have to swap the spring & clip from the old mst cly. The spring shown in photo is what helps return the brake pedal to the up position. If yours looks old replace it...but ahh...I don't know with what or where you can get one...
Inside...
just the reverse, bolt the rod back to the brake pedal. The
new one also had a bottom port, since the original didn't you can
keep the plug on this. |
