Car Forum / Acura Cars / June 2005Unofficial FAQ: Brake Master Cylinder update
http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/mastercylinderreplace/index.html This one was a tremendous amount of work. Please report any mistakes or omissions.  SignatureTeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/mastercylinderreplace/index.html This one was a tremendous amount of work. Please report any mistakes or omissions. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ -------------------------------------------------------------- Very complete. You have put a lot of time and energy inot these FAQs. Thank You! We I bought my Celica shee needed a new master cylinder. And the deal called for me to remove her imediatly. I had to really stomp the pedel everytime I had to stop or slow down. It was a way too exciting 20 mile drive home. A friend was picking up a "new" (rebuilt) master cylinder and it took all of 30 minutes to change the cylinder and fluid. He had a vacuum pum that amde changing the fluid almsot fun. If I had known how easy it would hav been, I would have arranged to do the work before driving the car. It was one of the most foolish things I have ever done. I was very lucky! Terry strange that the dealer wanted 350$ for a new unit. I had mine changed on my vigor yesterday. Parts were 228$ plus 200$ labour. The integra part looks exactly like the one I have on my car.

SignatureTeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ brand new and came with the reservoir and cap. I have the old one back. >> strange that the dealer wanted 350$ for a new unit.

The price difference after the US/CDN conversion isn't that large... $280 vs $350 = 20% off. Mike > brand new and came with the reservoir and cap.

If they are apples to apples, that is a large difference. >> The price difference after the US/CDN conversion isn't that large... $280 >> vs $350 = 20% off.

Please report any mistakes or > omissions. It looks like a tremendous amount of work, especially with the photos for the pushrod adjustment. But it's worth it - the amount of detail and "don't make this mistake" in there is fabulous. Mike |
