DIY Brake Master Cylinder Corolla 93 - 97

This DIY is for the Brake Master Cylinder only .


As you can see some Brake Master Cylinder come with the plastic container and some don't . In a situation where you don't then you reuse the same container . There is a small phillips screw holding it in place .


First thing you do is to remove the brake lines from the master cylinder .


Then you unplug the brake light warning switch plug .


Then you can remove the 3 nuts holding the master cylinder to the power booster and there you have it , You have removed the master cylinder . Then after bench bleeding you can put it back on the same way you took it off . If necessary you can bleed the lines so that you have new brake fluid and secure you don't have any air in the lines .



Bench bleeding is simple . Your master cylinder comes with the parts to bleed it . If you don't have a bench you can attach it back to the power booster and have some one inside the vehicle slightly pressing on the brakes till you don't see it bubbling anymore . Master cylinder comes with bench bleeding instructions so put them in a area where the paper won't get brake fluid on it .
