Default Brake master Cylinder

Hey Guys, just checking to see IF anyone has managed to rebuild the "Brake Master cylinder unit" over the years? IOR, it just have to be replaced?
If yes, share some insights please

TIA

see that's just not true... if you had searched you would have seen at least these and bumped one of them (since you have been a member for long enough to know to bump old threads)

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sus...-any-good.html
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sus...build-kit.html

or lets say you searched MASTER CYLINDER you would have come up with these 496 threads

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sea...rchid=15854323

or even MASTER CYLINDER REPAIR you get these 25 threads (with the second one being the one you need, since this thread is the most active recently it is the top one....but had you searched the correct thread would have been the top thread)

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sea...rchid=15854315

so please don't tell me you searched cause I would have at least tried to help you if you were honest

see that's KIND of correct, bt oly half true, the issue is you don't know what is wrong with his BMC (nor does he) and this isn't a complete fix for everything with the BMC

this is hands down one of the best threads on the BMC (besides anyone showing you how to change it) I have asked the mods to sticky it but so far no luck

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...helpppppp.html

post # 68 has a lot the part #'s (I'm going to edit it to how this part also but he needs to read that thread to really determine what he needs to do.

also another reason that part # isn't complete, even when you look on line for that part # it shows MANY other related parts that need to go with it (almost the bottom of the page)

I start saying, This is one of the part for that BMC. No the only one.
And yessss, I change it long time ago by myself. BTW, I do 3 already. One for me and the other 2 for a different friend. Just a few Cool Sprite and later a few $20.00 and done LOL. You spend more time inside the car trying to get the BMC out and bleed the system, that repairing it. Is very easy to do, believe me.
If the BMC leaking from the back, close to the fire wall, this is the part that are you need.
I have many, many years fixing cars and I'm very handy person with cars.

I'm very proud to restored a Ford Model A Convertible 100% with original ford parts, a 100% Car Show Toyota AE86 1987 the last one that come with rear LSD Differential and to many mores.
