Very complete. You have put a lot of time and energy inot
these FAQs.
Thank You!

We I bought my Celica shee needed a new master cylinder.
And the deal called for me to remove her imediatly.
I had to really stomp the pedel everytime I had to stop
or slow down. It was a way too exciting 20 mile drive home.
A friend was picking up a "new" (rebuilt) master cylinder and
it took all of 30 minutes to change the cylinder and fluid.
He had a vacuum pum that amde changing the fluid almsot
fun. If I had known how easy it would hav been, I would have
arranged to do the work before driving the car. It was one of
the most foolish things I have ever done. I was very lucky!

strange that the dealer wanted 350$ for a new unit. I had mine changed on my
vigor yesterday. Parts were 228$ plus 200$ labour. The integra part looks
exactly like the one I have on my car.

Was this $228 part new or remanufactured?

The $350 (Cdn) one was brand-new, and came with a new reservoir and cap.

It looks like a tremendous amount of work, especially with the photos for
the pushrod adjustment. But it's worth it - the amount of detail and "don't
make this mistake" in there is fabulous.

The price difference after the US/CDN conversion isn't that large... $280 vs
$350 = 20% off.

This is CAN$, not US

My error - I thought yours was US and the $350 was CDN. If they are apples
to apples, that is a large difference.
