2006 Chevrolet Equinox Brake Master Cylinder Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to service and repair the Brake Master Cylinder on 2006 Chevrolet Equinox?

  A: Start Brake Master Cylinder service by fixing the mounting flange in a vise and making the primary Piston rear end accessible for work. Place appropriate fittings on the master cylinder ports to match the necessary flare seat and connect hose ends into the ports. Fit transparent hoses to the fittings and put them into the reservoir tank so their ends touch gm approved brake fluid or its equivalent. Depress a smooth rounded tool against the primary Piston for 25mm (1 inch) several times to watch fluid flow from the ports. Air bleeding will make Piston travel harder and shorter. Bleed with the tool repeatedly until the master cylinder ports spit liquid without trapped air. Insert the cap securely onto the hose nipple once you take off the transparent hoses from the reservoir to prevent brake fluid loss. Take off the devices with their hoses from the master cylinder ports and place the master cylinder in a clean napkin before extracting the device from the working bench.
