Hello Moparters,

Thanks much for your help this week on my water pump question. I'm ready to tackle that one this weekend.

I would also like to attempt replacing my brake master cylinder. This doesn't look too hard, but wanted to check with those who have done it to confirm. If not, I'll bring the car in to have it done.

My car has a power booster, but that is working fine for now. I know the master cylinder is going, since I can see the traces of brake fluid it has dripped.

Will I need any special tools for this job? Do I just basically unbolt it from the booster and remove the two brake lines?

And then for re-install, the reverse, but need to bleed out the cylinder first? Are there any other adjustments or steps I'm missing?

Do I need to do anything with the piece (push rod?) that goes into the booster?

Thanks again for any tips or pitfall advice. I really appreciate the help for a newbie to this stuff. Hopefully I'll be up to speed soon!
