What does a brake master cylinder do?

The brake master cylinder is the heart of your vehicle's hydraulic braking system. When you press the brake pedal, it converts that mechanical force into hydraulic pressure, which then pushes brake fluid to the wheels to engage the brakes.

Do I need to replace anything else when installing a new master cylinder?

It's often recommended to inspect and potentially replace brake fluid and brake lines when installing a new master cylinder. Proper bleeding of the brake system after installation is also critical for optimal performance.

Does this master cylinder come with brake fluid?

This DFC brake master cylinder does not include brake fluid. You will need to purchase the appropriate type of brake fluid separately and fill the master cylinder reservoir after installation.
