About the Cardone Brake Master Cylinder Product Line

The Cardone Brake Master Cylinder line focuses on remanufactured components that meet or exceed original equipment specifications.

Product Details and Specifications

This brake master cylinder features a 1.00" bore diameter, which is critical for maintaining proper hydraulic pressure in the brake system. Made from aluminum, the gray-finished cylinder offers resistance to corrosion and wear. It includes three ports, with primary port sizes of M10 x 1.0 and M16 x 1.0, designed to connect seamlessly with the vehicle’s brake lines. The unit mounts securely using two mounting holes. Note that this remanufactured part does not come with a reservoir or installation hardware, so those components must be sourced separately if needed.

Common Brake Issues Addressed by This Master Cylinder

  • Brake pedal feels low or spongy due to master cylinder wear
  • Brake fluid leaks from the master cylinder piston area
  • Uneven braking or pulling to one side during stops
  • Brake pedal is hard or high after master cylinder replacement
  • Brake system contamination causing inconsistent pressure

Installation Notes and Tips

Before installation, verify that the booster push rod seal is intact to prevent leaks. Use the brake fluid type recommended by the original equipment manufacturer, typically DOT 3 or DOT 4 glycol-based fluids. Bench bleeding the master cylinder prior to installation is recommended to remove air and ensure proper hydraulic function. Since this unit does not include a reservoir, ensure your existing reservoir is compatible and in good condition. Properly torque mounting bolts and check all connections for leaks after installation.
