REPLACING THE BRAKE SYSTEM MASTER CYLINDER


When we attempted to bleed the brake system hydraulics, we noticed the master cylinder was not operating properly.  
The master cylinder is located inside the frame rail supporting the driver's side floor pan. 















You can see the pivot of the brake pedal in the upper left hand corner of the photo to the left.
After receiving the new master this morning, we removed the original cylinder and cleaned the inside of the frame rail.  Fitting the new cylinder was not difficult.  
Tomorrow we will replace the wheel cylinders on the rear wheels and bleed the brakes again.  







I love this car...
