Brake Master Cylinder

Post by mb3k »

I'm going to replace the brake master cylinder with my neighbor. I have never done it on an MX3 before, and was wondering if there is 'special' tools needed to do the job (ones that you can't find at home).
I got a quote from the Mazda dealer, and they said it will cost me $1000 for them to replace it... screw that, I'm doing it at home. :D
Any other tips on replacing a brake master cylinder would be appreciated too.

The only tip I can think of is ABSOLUTE CLEANLINESS. One speck of muck and it will find a seal and ruin it.
Re-shaped and re-sized gearshift lever. Best driveability mod you can do!
Extra thick soundproofing in the boot (trunk) to quieten my stainless steel exhaust system :)
