The only stupid thing to do is not ask, you have a wealth of great members here & all there knowledge to tap into.

Remember a question is only something you don't already know the answer to & when it comes to Patrols & off read adventuring what better place to ask.

Hey mate as everyone else has said, there is no such thing as a stupid question on this forum, that is one of many things that makes us different to all the other forums and we are proud of it.

Don't throw away old master cylinder as you can rekit them for much less than new one, it's not hard.

Not a stupid question was there any fluid inside the car (footwell) where the rod comes through? Mine done it aswell,on a GQ though! Booster was fine just needed new master cylinder and it was fixed. One thing i done was put some fluid in the master cylinder before fitting, Makes bleeding easier, and the manual said it. Good luck, $165 sounds about right for the master cylinder.

I will rekit the booster thanks for the heads up,
and luckily there is no fluid leaking to inside cabin... lucky

89 GQ,
Yep thats a handy tip adding the fluid in the master cylinder pre fitting
You can actually pre bleed the master cylinder before fitting as well
Saves ALOT of air getting into the brake system

Yep i done it on my clutch master as well and does make bleeding easier and quicker, Just leave the blue or red tabs in where the lines hook up and put a rag under when attatching brake lines.

Thanks heaps for all your tips and tricks on changing my master cylinder,
I will re-kit my old one for a backup or whatever,
I even went to the extent of bench bleeding it before we fitted it,
All went well now it stops like its never stopped before...... almost stops too good
Thanks. mike
