Installing Brake Master Cylinder
Any advise on installing a new brake master cylinder or any experience doing this job?
I note in the manual, there is a special tool required to adjust the rod in the cylinder and at the servo. Is this really required?
I'm thinking of swapping out a known good master cylinder from another FD, just to see, but not sure if I can just do a straight removal and bolt up without having to adjust anything. Any advise at all would be much appreciated?
Here's my other post regarding the issues I'm having... https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/weird-clutch-engagement-please-advise-641646/

it's an easy job if you're replacing with a stock MC. Just remember to bench bleed the new unit prior to installation, I don't see why you'd have to adjust the rod, but if you do it can be done with a 12mm open end wrench and some pliars.
