Power booster and Master Cylinder removal
Can someone tell me what is involved in swapping a master cylinder for a drum brake setup?
Thanks |

Unscrew the 2 lines and 2 nuts.
Bench bleed the new one before installing it on the truck.

Do I need to bleed the brake lines when I install the new booster/mastercylinder?

You will probably need to bleed the lines too.It's a good idea to bleed your brakes and get all fresh fluid going thru them every so often anyway.Brake fluid tends to pick up water from condensate and other sources and that affects it's boiling point and can cause rust.

Yeah, I would bleed the entire system also. New fluid never hurts.

....also depends on how bad your bleeder screws are rusted,and if they will break if you try to bleed them-might want to stick to bench bleeding the master if a daily driver!
