Re: brake master cylinder

Not sure if you are familiar with the process:

-Bench bleed new master before installing. The best thing to do is consult the factory manual if you are not familiar with this. I could e-mail you a .pdf of the correct pages if you need it.

-Use only DOT-3 fluid, from a sealed container.

-If the brake fluid has never been completely flushed and replaced, now is the time to do it. Takes about 1.5 quarts of brake fluid.

-Flushing and bleeding the braking system is complicated by the ABS system. There is a detailed procedure in the factory manual (Section 5E1, page 164. Again, can e-mail a .pdf, or go to this site and download the 1996 factory manual for free:

You may have to join the site (Firebird Nation) to download.

I am only going to send the pages I mentioned. If you want the entire manual, you need to download it.
