What tools are necessary for replacing a master cylinder on a Honda Accord?

1992 Honda Accord LX - Metric wrenches, obviously - but are there any other tools needed for bleeding the brakes or anything else? Please be specific. Thanks!What tools are necessary for replacing a master cylinder on a Honda Accord?Rust penetrant.



Metric FLARE nut wrenches, not regular wrenches. Reg wrenches will round off the flare nuts if they're stuck. Metric sockets to remove the master cylinder from the firewall. You'll also need a bench bleeding kit. You MUST bench bleed the new master cylinder before putting in on the car. It will never bleed properly if you don't. The bench bleeding kit has fittings that screw into the ports. Tubes go on the ports and you route them back into the reservoir.



Put the MC in a vise (just tight enough to hold it without damaging it). Fill the reservoir with brake fluid. Then, use a wooden dowel rod (not a screwdriver) to push the piston in. You'll see the air bubbles being blown into the new fluid in the reservoir. Continue pumping the piston until the air bubbles stop. Then you can install it.



Finally, bleed all the calipers and wheel cylinders.What tools are necessary for replacing a master cylinder on a Honda Accord?A second person to pump the brakes while you bleed them, or you can get a bleeder tool, which pressurizes a tank of brake fluid and then you just have to go from wheel to wheel bleeding them, starting with the right rear, LR, RF, LF.What tools are necessary for replacing a master cylinder on a Honda Accord?I also have issue with my honda accord.
