Product Details and Specifications

The Dorman M39486 brake master cylinder is crafted from aluminum, providing a lightweight yet durable component that resists rust and wear. Its 0.875-inch bore diameter is calibrated to deliver consistent hydraulic pressure, essential for effective brake operation. The included reservoir allows for proper brake fluid storage and circulation, reducing the risk of air entering the system. Featuring two outlets, this master cylinder supports dual-circuit braking systems, with a rearward outlet sized M10 x 1.0 and a secondary outlet thread diameter of 10 mm, both with a 1.0 thread pitch to ensure compatibility with factory brake lines.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

This brake master cylinder is compatible with select Chevrolet Nova and Toyota Corolla models, making it a suitable replacement part for maintaining or restoring brake system functionality. The Dorman M39486 is ideal for vehicles requiring a master cylinder with the specified bore diameter and outlet configurations.

  • Restores proper brake fluid pressure and pedal feel
  • Addresses brake fluid leaks from a worn or damaged master cylinder
  • Eliminates spongy or unresponsive brake pedal issues
  • Replaces master cylinders with corroded or damaged reservoirs
  • Supports dual-circuit brake systems requiring two outlet ports

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Dorman M39486 brake master cylinder requires careful attention to brake line connections and proper bleeding of the brake system to remove air. Since mounting hardware is not included, retain or source compatible fasteners for secure installation. Verify thread sizes and pitch to ensure proper fitment of brake lines. It is recommended to inspect all brake components during installation and replace any worn parts to maintain system integrity.
