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?

worried about my car. I have a 04 Toyota Highlander. Year ago was told the rotors were bad so the mechanic flipped the rotors said I could still drive on them for just a little bit. Since then, brakes pulsate when coming to a slow stop, steering wheel shakes when braking at high speeds, now in the past 2 days I have to press the brake pedal lower than usual to get the car to slow down. My husband drove it & said he didn’t notice anything but this is happening. What could this be???? Rotors?
My civic 94 pull left when braking, like there is no brake on the right front wheel, also the paddle sink to the floor. Do u know why?
Is there a way to tell certainly that u need to replace the BMC?
So glad I have a right hand drive car, the hoses are easy to get to
Thank you very helpful!
hi eric on the video the master cylinder only had two lines now how do you bench bleed a master cylinder with four lines my is from a mercury mystique 98 4cylinders i need some help plese thank you n happy holidays .
On that note people if you have a low or spongy brake pedal it can be air in the system or worn pads, keep it simple check your fluid resovoir if its low it can mean that you have worn brake pads. A braking system is a sealed sysem and in optimal conditon should not leak so check you break pads to see if their worn, your reservoir acts as a guage that should’nt be opened and will get low if you break pads or lining is worn if thats not the case then go with Erics video.
Hey eric when you were saying.You can get a tool with a tube to recirc the fluid.Could you use a bleeding nipple/valve and a bit of normal tubing?.CHEERS GREAT VID BY THE WAY
Hang on there love, I’m busy!
NOOO,, It’s not what you think love,, I swear I was not watching Eric the Car Guy again
Great video keep them coming.
Very helpful. Doing this job tonight. Thanks.
@gaitorbaitz11 most likley ur brake servo has gon as it works from a vacum
Very helpful Eric thanks! Keep up the good work
Nice my frend yu help my a lat tnks
I second that, love my 1970 chevy truck w/straight 6 motor. Never lets me down.
hi Eric….the order is the same for all the master cylinders (left front-right rear; rigth front-left rear) for any cars?..btw nice job there^^
@EricTheCarGuy I’m trying to do this on a 96 VW Jetta. But idk if its the same way…
Bench bleeding the master cylinder before installation is always the professional way to work, and it’s so much quicker and easier than trying to bleed the cylinder after it’s on the car. Yes, after you’ve bench-bled it you’ll need to bleed it again one you reconnect the brake lines, but it will be a *much* faster process since you’ll already have most of the air out of it.
That right there is why I only have 70′s vehicle big and easier than hell to work on .
When I turn my car on I have no brake pressure but when its off I have brake pressure….do I need to just bleed my brakes or is it the cylinder help me!!!!
very helpful eric. my mechanic told me i need a new proportioning valve and master cylinder but it looks like i just need a master cylinder…now i just need to replace a brake line and im done
Thanks Eric. It has been a long time since I have bled breaks and never had to bleed the master cylinder before. Well, as fate would have it, while bleeding the brakes I overestimated how quickly the fluid would run out and accidentally pumped air into my brake cylinder. I wasn’t certain until your video exactly how to go about bleeding the master cylinder, now I am so I’ll be off to bleed the system all over again shortly, thanks again.
