Master Cylinder Restoration/Rebuild

Finally another installment in the Cherokee XJ project. It's been on the back burner a bit since I've been busy trying to set up and move everything into the new shop we're moving into.
Don't ever waste your time trying to rebuild a master cylinder like this. The rebuilt part is like $20, so it's not worth the time of going through all this. Just buy a re-manufactured brake master cylinder like everyone else does.
This Master cylinder was already working properly, I just wanted to clean it up and rebuild it anyway since I was already replacing all of the rusty old brake lines.

I can’t wait to see this XJ when it’s done. Gonna be mint.

@fty-ys4ni Год назад

In the description you say it isn’t worth the time or energy to do this but what I think makes it worth while is that you’re allowing the original parts to stay mated to the vehicle for even longer than if you were to replace them outright. It gives more meaning to the word “restoration.”

@oo0Spyder0oo 6 месяцев назад

I agree, plus the satisfaction of doing it yourself and showing others not to be a throw away society.

@turboeddude4849 11 дней назад

There’s part slappers, and then there’s actual restorers.

@gregorymahnken9682 2 года назад

Great work, very satisfying to see the progress on this XJ one piece at a time. Also loved the "?" Pedal 😂 Just a tip for anyone watching (not the creator as I could learn a lot from you) but if you're already going to be replacing the line, no need to bother with a flare wrench especially if youre worried about stripping it, I just cut the line at the nut and put a 6 point socket right on it.

@kickass0815 Год назад

@kjamison5951 2 года назад

Nice job! One caveat: brake fluid is toxic. ALWAYS wear gloves when handling any component which still has brake fluid in it or on it. One tip: when using the low temperature plastic pellets to form plugs, push a broad flat screwdriver into the softened plastic before it sets. Then use the screwdriver to unscrew the plugs when ready.

@doodlecaboodle9298 Год назад

You'll be alright, lol. Just wash your hands. Brake fluid's toxic but you gotta intentionally swallow a decent amount to get hurt

@fergavilan132 2 года назад

Good job, a really good job. Something that called my attention was that you didn't open and closed the purge valve everytime you pressed the brake pedal to bleed air, but I didn't notice any brake fluid regression either so as it was much easier.

@swat1229 2 года назад

So long as the end of the hose is submerged in fluid there is enough flow to flush the system that way. Anytime I don't have someone with me I use that trick.

You might consider using a 3d printing pen instead of pellets so you can form a screwdriver slot or wings to help with removal.

@timehunter9467 2 года назад

I would never have thought of that!

@theezeelife292 2 года назад

@AronRubin 2 года назад

I should mention that I get them for < $20. Try to find a 12v unit instead of a 5v usb one. Remember to retract when not extruding to avoid forming a clot in the pen. Not all filament is made equal.

Hey man, I love watching your videos. So satisfying seeing the end result. Can you make a video or give us some information on the solvents, paints, primers, and sealers you use? I watched your video on the steering gearbox resto the other day (very helpful, thank you) and I was curious what you were brushing on some of the metals after media blasting...I'm assuming is was primer but it almost looked like linseed oil.

@angelo4445 Год назад

excellent work! you could have bathed the yellowed plastic reservoir tank in a hydrogen peroxide solution and left under UV light to restore that brand new white plastic look.

Was the tubing stainless? Just details I can't get from just watching, so I can go further. (I have a clutch master and slave cylinder, and calipers to do) Thanks for posting!!!!!

@MarkMeadows90 2 года назад

Another job well done. I know this is saying a bit much, but I wonder if you could've retro-brighted the master cylinder reservoir with a 12% hydrogen peroxide solution and let it sit in a container under LED UV lights for a couple days to make the reservoir a more clearer color. Ah well, can't satisfy everyone lol

@jimmyanthony6557 Год назад

Quick trick - you can mound the plastic up and press a socket on it. Forms a mold and you can easily unscrew it later when you want to remove it

@Spelter Год назад

You can also use gravity to bleed the system, pressure with the open system only leads to your master cylinder, to reach positions, it should not reach and you could destroy your freshly rebuild part. Just put 4 bottles on the bleeder screws, above them, like hanging from the struts, open them and fill the reservoir up. Gravity pushes air out and you don't have to put the master cylinder in any danger. I know the old ways worked, but people had no ABS back then.

@greentriumph1643 Год назад

Yes. I did this when I had trouble bleeding the master cylinder on my motorcycle. Bungee corded to handle open and the next morning it was bled.

Throw that reservoir in a bath of peroxide and supply uv light on it. It will make the plastics look white again. No more yellow. 👌

@theezeelife292 2 года назад

Great job. I'll be doing a lot of the things you're doing to my trail rig in the near future. Thank you for giving me a guide. The only thing I'll do different is to use hydrogen peroxide and UV lights to get the reservoir back to its original translucent white. No real reason other than for it to look pretty...for a little while at least.

@JoshuaQuintanapr 2 года назад

Those are plastic pellets that you warm with hot water to make them malleable. You can then push it into your desired place and it will then harden as it cools. I got mine off of Amazon.
