Re: Removing Master Brake Cylinder on 1990 Jeep Cherokee (with ABS)
Just for info. Got it changed. Had two loosen the four nuts under the dash,
the three brakelines (FL, FR, R), the elecric connectors and the punmp and
pump return line. Also the bolt that connects the brake pedal to the MC rod.
Removed the water tank for the wiper washer system for better access.
When all this was removed the whole assembly could slide out (bearly) and be
worked on on the workbench. Then one had to loosen and push away the
actuator assemblu to get the MC loose. A good 8 hour work in total but much
of this scratching my head :-)
