does anyone one the right method of mastercylinder assembly.

i have the book for it and its always better to get 20 opinions before taking action .

so i need advice as to ho to install a MC
What i need to have before, while and after installing the part.

is it hard.

is it simply bolt on.

do i bleed flyuid lines again after install.

thanks everyone.

guys have been a big help.

And thank you honda also eve though they charged me $25 for having my brakes inspected and telling me my MC is bad.

i've never done one, but it should be pretty much a bolt-on application..
just be sure to drain the old one first..
and ya, you'll have to bleed after the install..

btw..this is just the mc right?? not the booster as well??

it's NOT hard, it IS a bolt on, you bleed all the lines after...

You also have to bench bleed the M/C before you put it in.

I'd also suggest that after installed you let it sit for 24 hours(before bleeding) this helps let air in the lines, before the calipers rise to the master cylinder. although I still fully support bleeding and that it is a must do step this does help in the process

easy as pie job...did one on the side of the road basically before...the only not so fun part was the fact that it was 100degrees outside that day

yes only MC is gone not the booster.

thanks guys.


one more question do i need to pull or do anythign witht he booster other than the bolts i think that attach the MC and the booster together have to be played around.

other than that i'm hoping i'm on clean grounds on bolting and unbolting.
am i right?

does anyone know some honda mech in this forum or some tech guys hwo have done this and could do this.

want to get this done but again i'm not bill gates son so i can't afford paying alot of money to have this installed.


anyone know any good mech?

thansk again

Buddah owns a shop, check the TCC exchange forum.

Do yourself a favour and buy line wrenches as well... I have a set, it's the best investment I ever made (not really, but close to!)

A line wrench is basically a box end wrench and a open end wench mixed together, it grabbes all the edges of the AN fitting used on brakelines, ac lines...ect... it has the gripping power of a box end wrench but the open end like a open end wrench...you put the wrench over the line then slided it onto the AN fitting, then voila a box end wrench on the AN fitting to avoid stripping it, (like what would happen using a normal open end wrench)


and they are generally short wrenches to avoid over torquing the AN fitting...
