i was wondering how hard it is to replace the master brake cylinder because the guy who i bought it from had it sitting in his yard for about a year and its all corroded and when you press the brake pedal it doesnt even move

hardest part is removing the hardlines from the master cylinder. get a flare wrench so you dont strip the fittings on the hard lines and have to bend new ones

other than that its 2 bolts.

:ohno:
