Product Features and Specifications

This brake master cylinder features a single removable plastic reservoir that simplifies maintenance and fluid replacement. The bore diameter measures 0.813 inches (20.638 mm), providing consistent hydraulic pressure for effective braking. Both primary and secondary outlets have M10-1.00 thread size with bubble flare types, compatible with standard brake lines. The unit includes a master cylinder cap but does not come with mounting hardware, brake booster, push rod, or bleeder hoses, so these components must be sourced separately if needed.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Restores proper hydraulic pressure for improved brake pedal feel
• Addresses brake fluid reservoir leaks or damage
• Solves issues related to inconsistent brake response due to master cylinder wear

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure compatibility with your specific Honda Civic model before installation. The master cylinder mounts using two holes and requires proper alignment with the brake booster (not included). Since mounting hardware and push rod are not included, retain original parts or acquire replacements as necessary. Bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation to remove air and ensure optimal brake performance. The removable reservoir style facilitates fluid inspection and replacement during maintenance.
