Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the Cardone 10-2678 Brake Master Cylinder, ensure the brake booster push rod seal is inspected for defects, as a faulty seal can affect brake performance. 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 before installation is advised to remove air and ensure proper hydraulic function. Since the reservoir is not included, reuse the existing reservoir or source a compatible replacement. Properly torque mounting bolts and verify all port connections are secure to prevent leaks.
