A brake master cylinder is one of the
most crucial components of a vehicle’s brake system. But, how do you know you
need a new master cylinder? The most common indication that your brake
component needs replacing is the worn seals that leave a trail to follow. This
trail is nothing but the brake fluid which may lead to future car problems.

Step 1: Before you start unscrewing the
cylinder, try to remove as much fluid as possible from the main brake cylinder.
To extract brake fluid from the master cylinder, use Turkey Baster.
Step 2: Now start removing various components
that lead directly to the master cylinder. Carefully remove all the tubes and components
like brake booster vacuum hose so that you can easily reach the master
cylinder.
Step 3: Now, search where a fluid level
sensor is. It is generally located on the plastic reservoir. Locate and unplug
it.
Step 4: With the help of line wrench, crack
open the brake lines, with the brake master cylinder still secured to the brake
booster. There are approximately 4 brake lines connected to the master cylinder. Tighten them once again to avoid any leakage or spillage.
Step 5: Now unscrew each bolt that secures
the master cylinder to the brake booster. Your new master cylinder will already
have a reservoir, so you need to remove the old one. But, before you pull out the
old master cylinder, make sure you have prepped up your new cylinder.
