2008 Chevrolet Equinox Brake Master Cylinder Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the brake master cylinder on 2008 Chevrolet Equinox?

  A: The Brake Master Cylinder replacement starts by removing the underhood electrical center bracket and disconnecting the electrical connector attached to the brake fluid level indicator switch. Before moving forward with the brake pipe removal from the master cylinder find a rubber cap or plug to seal exposed brake pipe fittings against fluid escape and debris entry. Start by installing plugs on open brake pipe ends before you remove the master cylinder mounting nuts to extract the master cylinder with all brake fluid drained from the reservoir. Bench bleeding is required before the master cylinder installation onto the Brake Booster. Then install mounting nuts on the master cylinder and tighten them to 25 n.m (18 lb ft). Connect the brake pipe fittings to the master cylinder while tightening them to 18 n.m (13 lb ft). After reconnecting the electrical cable on the brake fluid level indicator switch owners should install the underhood electrical bracket. Bleed the hydraulic brake system as the last step.
