Brake Master Cylinder: Testing and Inspection
Exploded View
INSPECTION
Inspect for Leakage
NOTE: The master-cylinder should be cleaned thoroughly prior to inspection (several days preferably). Spilled brake fluid can be easily
confused with leakage.
Piston Seals
-
Leakage around the piston seals will seep out from the end of the cylinder and leak down the outside of the brake booster.
-
Inspect for signs of seepage or bubbled paint on the brake booster.
-
If any leakage is detected the master-cylinder should be replaced or overhauled
Brake Line Fittings
-
While someone is applying pressure to the brake pedal, inspect the brake line fittings on the master-cylinder for leakage.
-
If the fittings are leaking they should be disassembled and inspected.
Reservoir to Cylinder Gasket
-
Inspect the gasket for signs of leakage or hardening and cracking.
-
Overhaul or replace the master-cylinder if any leakage is indicated.
Inspect for Oil Contamination.
