Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone 10-2885 master cylinder, ensure the brake booster push rod seal is inspected for defects, as a faulty seal can affect 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, transfer the existing reservoir or install a compatible replacement. Proper bleeding of the brake system after installation is essential to avoid spongy pedal feel or brake failure.
