Hi there-
The new master cylinder I just received from Ecklers has a rubber boot on it and I would like to know if I keep it on the cylinder throughout the installation or do I remove it at some point and then reinstall it.
If you have any additional installation tips I would appreciate it...according to the service manual it seems pretty straight forward....disconnect the brake fluid line and then unbolt the cylinder...then install the new gasket and new cylinder. Is it that straight forward?
I was experiencing a soft brake pedal and had the line bled and new
synthetic fluid put in which appeared to do the trick for a couple of drives
then I noticed the pedal went soft again and the master cylinder had no fluid in it which led to the discovery that the cylinder was leaking inside the car at the point of the rubber boot or where the brake pedal engages
the master cylinder.
Any insights or suggestions are very much appreciated.
Thanks for your help,
Nick
