Review on πŸ”§ Dorman M39500 New Brake Master Cylinder: Superior Performance and Durability for Optimal Braking by Robert Pearson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A quality master cylinder with installation features to look out for.

I bought this item to replace the brake master cylinder on my 1988 Toyota pickup that was leaking. It's been about 6 months since I installed the product and it works great. I would have given 5 stars if I hadn't had the installation issue. I used the part selection tool so I was expecting a replacement. However, the connector position of one of the hydraulic lines differs from the original brake master cylinder in my truck. Since the hydraulic lines are steel pipes, this created a problem. Luckily I managed to bend and connect the line. For those who are not mechanically inclined, this may seem a bit complicated. It was fairly easy to bleed the system by following the instructions that came with the part. The build quality looks very good.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
