  Q: How to Service and Repair a Brake Master Cylinder on Dodge Intrepid?

  A:

  The brake master cylinder should be removed from the power Brake Booster before starting any service or repair. You should use Mopar(R) Brake Parts Cleaner to clean the brake master cylinder and the fluid container. Take off the filler cap and drain the entire amount of brake fluid from the reservoir. Use a vise to clamp the brake master cylinder and then remove each retaining pin between the 2 fluid reservoirs and the cylinder, so you don't puncture the reservoirs with a tool by mistake. Grasp the reservoir and pull on it upward as you tilt it back and forth to take it off the brake master cylinder. After that, get rid of the grommets that hold the brake master cylinder housing to the reservoir. As you assemble, fit new grommets for the housing in the brake master cylinder and coat both the grommets and the places they are to be installed with brake fluid. Put the reservoir above the longest grommet and press and wiggle it into place to make it flush with the ground. After the bottom of the reservoir reaches the top of both sealing grommets, put the 2 fluid reservoir to brake master cylinder retaining pins in place. After that, bleed the system and then mount the brake master cylinder onto the car.

  Q: How to Bleed a Brake Master Cylinder on Dodge Intrepid?

  A:

  First, screw the brake master cylinder tightly into a vise without excessive pressure to avoid damaging it during bleed. Because the brake master cylinder is made with ISO flares and uses metric thread size, use the proper bleeding kits from Special Tool Packages 8129 and 8305, with the ends going into the fluid reservoir. Screw the two bleeding tube fittings onto each relevant motorcycle brake outlet, so that when the reservoir is full and the brake fluid meets DOT 3 standards, the open ends of the tubes remain below the surface of the fluid. Under the pressure of a wooden dowel, slowly push down the brake master cylinder pistons and allow them to return, doing this until all the air bubbles are removed. When you're done, remove the bleeding tubes from inside the cylinder, cover the outlets and tighten the filler cap. When done, remove the brake master cylinder from the vise, then place it on the power brake vacuum booster and remember that the whole hydraulic system doesn't need to be bled if it was done during the installation.
