How to Replace the Car Brake Master Seal Correctly

Here are some steps you can follow to replace the car brake master seal, including:

1. Check the Brake Master Wall

The first way to replace the car brake master seal is to check the brake master wall. Check if there is rust or stubborn dirt on that part. If there is rust and dirt, immediately scrub that part clean with sandpaper. 

2. Perform Disassembly

After you check the brake master wall, the next step is to disassemble the brake master.

The purpose of disassembling this component is to determine the condition of all components located in the car brake master. It also involves checking the condition of the seal, whether the master seal is problematic or damaged, thus requiring replacement or not.

If you do not know how to disassemble the car brake master, you can ask an expert or visit the nearest Daihatsu dealer, and it will be handled by a mechanic technician who is already professional in the automotive field.

3. Replace the Brake Master with a New One

What are the signs that the brake master seal needs to be replaced? If you have done the previous two steps as mentioned above, but the brake master condition remains problematic, it is time to replace the damaged brake master with a new one.

Signs that the brake master is damaged and needs to be replaced include uneven contact of the pads when touching the brake disc. This condition can cause a blockage when you brake the car.

4. Replace the Brake Master Rubber with a New One

In addition to replacing the brake master with a new one, another option you can take when the brake master seal is problematic is to replace the brake master rubber with a new one.

5. Reinstall the Brake Master Components Correctly

After you have cleaned the brake master or completed the replacement process, immediately reinstall all the components of the car brake master that have been disassembled. 

Don't forget to clean the disc brake area before reinstalling. Use a special brake cleaner fluid to clean that part.

Once the brake master components are properly installed, you can immediately check the oil line or bleeding, to see if there is still air in that line or not. 

If there is still air, it will interfere with the brake performance, making it less optimal. Check the brake oil line until there is absolutely no air entering. After that, test by pressing the brake pedal to see if it still sinks or not. If it is safe, you may drive the car.

That’s how to correctly replace the car brake master seal. If you find it difficult to replace the car brake master seal, you can consult directly with a Daihatsu dealer or the nearest official workshop for proper handling.

Make sure to not only replace the damaged brake master seal, but you should also replace other car components that are problematic for your comfort and safety while driving.
