Installation Notes and Tips
Before installation, verify bore diameter, outlet thread size, and sensor connection against the original unit. Bench bleed the master cylinder before connecting brake lines to help remove trapped air from the hydraulic circuit. Because mounting hardware is not included, reuse or source the correct hardware as needed. After installation, inspect all brake line connections for leaks and bleed the full brake system according to the vehicle service procedure.
