What is the main function of a brake master cylinder?

The master cylinder converts the mechanical force from your brake pedal into hydraulic pressure. This pressure is then transmitted through the brake lines to actuate the brakes at each wheel.

Do I need to bleed the brakes after installing this master cylinder?

Yes, bleeding the brake system is essential after installing a new master cylinder. This process removes any air that may have entered the brake lines, ensuring proper hydraulic function and firm pedal feel.

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 and amount of brake fluid separately for installation and system bleeding.
