Brake Master Cylinder
Alright, so im trying to replace my brake master cylinder and so far what a mess... When trying to remove the bolts that hold the brake booster and master cylinder, I realized one was too long, meaning it ran into the metal that sperates the engine and the battery... To get it out I had to drill a hole to get the bolt out from the engine side of the panel... Alright so then after that, i get the old master out and go to put the new one in... Now the problem is that I cant get the master cylinder to go in flush since that same metal seperator is in the way. If i go in at an angle the pushpin (not sure of the correct term) wont line up with the master cylinder plunger, or the side of the master cylinder gets stuck. I had thought that i finally got it, but after putting it all together the brake pedal isnt operating the master cylinder so the pin must not be lined up... Any thoughts on this?? I had thought about trying to remove the brake pedal so that i can make the pushpin (connected to the brake, located in the brake booster/servo) go in more, but my service manual lists some weird tool to disconnect the pedal, and the brake switches have these clips (on the switch itself, not the connector) that i cant figure out to remove without breaking them.. So im stuck and Im open to any ideas. Thanks
