Question
How do I remove the old brake master cylinder to install the new one? Are the nuts on the other side of the firewall?? PLease Help!!!
If you have power brakes, the master cylinder is secured to the booster using nuts. If you do not have power brakes, two methods were used to secure the master cylinder. One includes the bracket being bolted inside the car under the dash. The other has the bracket bolted to the firewall.
