2002 Chevrolet Malibu Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the brake master cylinder on 2002 Chevrolet Malibu?

  A: To begin the Brake Master Cylinder swap start with removing the Brake Fluid Level Sensor electrical connector and taking out brake pipes (3, 4) from the master cylinder before using rubber caps or plugs to seal exposed brake pipe ends against fluid loss and contamination. Start by plugging the brake pipe ends then unscrew the mounting nuts before removing the master cylinder from the car. The master cylinder receiving bench bleeding first then allows attachment to the vacuum Brake Booster before manual installation of mounting nuts with a torques specification of 27 nm (20 ft. Lbs.). After the master cylinder installation connect the brake pipes (3, 4) with 23 nm (17 ft. Lbs.) torque setting before reconnecting the electrical connector to the Brake Fluid Level Sensor and conducting a brake system bleed.
