Hi,

Replacing the brake master cylinder isn't too hard of a job. One thing I suggest is to get a new one that has a lifetime warranty. That way if it fails in the future, you don't have to pay for a new one again.

To get you started, here is a link that shows the procedure in general. You will have to bench bleed the new master cylinder prior to installing it. I will provide a video showing how that is done.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
