Installation Notes and Tips

Use the brake fluid specified by the original equipment manufacturer and only fresh fluid from a sealed container. Bench bleed the master cylinder before installation, then bleed the brake system according to the vehicle service procedure. If the pedal remains low after replacement, inspect the booster, calipers, wheel cylinders, hoses, and fluid condition for related faults.

Quality Assurance

This remanufactured Cardone master cylinder is built with new OE-quality seals and cups, micro-finished bores to help reduce pitting-related wear, and vacuum-tested plastic reservoirs where applicable. Cast-iron versions in the line receive a protective coating to help resist rust, and every unit is computer tested to verify fit and function.
