So my brother tells me his car is not stopping and the brake pedal is slowly sinking to the floor when he is at a stop light, my solution, a master cylinder replacement. Join me on this quest to make the roads a little bit safer by helping my brother with this little problem. I know I do lots of stuff on Honda’s and Acura’s but I do work on other things too and we will get to those in the near future but for now I have a stock of footage of these cars so deal with it. I am trying to help you after all, and I hope that I do. If you really want me to do something I have 2 words, video response. Try that and I will pay attention. I get tons of text things but no video, I think I’m worth it, don’t you?

How do you dispose of the old braking fluide ?
Hello Eric this is Wilfredo, I have a 1993 Acura Integra gs, I need to replace my alternator,, my question to you is should I remove the master cylinder and all the components or should I remove the axle and do it from the bottom oof the car?
What’s the torque spec on the two bolts for the master to the booster? About to put this thing back on and I always wanna do it correct! Thanks Eric
When bleeding the cylinder on the car do you bleed it just one time per line?
Thank you
Les Scwhab tried charging me 600 to do this… Wow I can easily do this myself. Not only that they ordered the wrong part and didn't start working on my car until 8 hours after being dropped off. I had a appointment scheduled a week out and everything. You have some tool knowledge do things yourself folks
Is that possible to fix the problem by bleeding air out of the master cylinder without replacing a new one? Thanks
Your videos are awesome man informative and very visual. Thanks!
Eric, any idea why a Honda Civic master cylinder is absolutely STUCK to the brake booster?
I went at it with a chisel, penetrating fluid, hammering it, etc. Please help!
I got a new master cylinder and it came with plastic tubes, do I use those in place of the old connections which are metal?
Thanks bro
i have pretty much the same car, hopefully the replacement is as easy as it looks
When you bleeding the lines after bolting it on do you open both ports at one time or just one then have someone pressurize then repeat for the other
Thanks…the bench bleeding went smooth
Finely a video that shows how to remove the reservoir not sure mine is that simple though 🙁
love your videos ,they been a huge help thanks again.
Thanks Erick…,now I can take my wife out instead of spending my money on breaks! TC
10 plus years later, you're still helping us with this video, sir!!!! Gotta replace the master cylinder on my mint 2002 CR-V and this video really helped me, especially the bench bleeding part. Thank you so much!!!!
Thank you
Eric what should you do if you install the master cylinder without doing the bench bleed first
Better than ChrisFix and Scotty, quick and straight to the job!
Just changed the master cylinder on my work van using this video, worked like a charm, thanks Eric!
Hi Eric, I have a 2001 infiniti i30t in which i need to replace the master cylinder. Can you help me, I am thinking of doing the work myself. what wrenches do you recommend?
Thank you for this video Eric good bless you keep up the good work
Thank u Eric!! Gonna hammer out mine. On my Honda prelude 93
I have a 2000 Audi A6 C5. The firewall will not permit me to remove the BMC. The two bolts just slide right out and ram against it so I cannot remove it. You just slide the fucking thing thinking you are making progress and it hits the firewall and the record skips. The first logical impulse is to fire up a chainsaw and howl… I hate Audi and will never buy their shit again. I would like to feed my wrench to whoever designed this crap. And I mean sideways and up through the asshole.
Hi Eric, My reservoir keeps getting empty and I have to refill it every 2 days, i checked break lines no leak but I notice the car smokes white smoke from the front and from the exhaust like major smoke that's when I noticed the break pedal is lose. then I have to refile, is that master cylinder?
U r the MAN !!!
thank u😀
Thanks Eric, Helper and Camera Guy, Video was interesting and well done. I will be putting on a Master Cylinder in a few days on my 91' Mazda P/U, and you video was very helpful. You can talk to me all day about how to do it, but I a "show me" guy, and that's why I go to Youtube. Thanks again.
7:51 hate when that happens and it does not hit the ground… like this time. lol it happens.
