Review on Raybestos MC390998 Professional Master Cylinder by George Saunier

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Perfect fit and easy installation on 2005 Honda CR-V

Raybestos is the name I trust for brake parts and I didn't want to skimp on my son's car. His brakes were unreliable for a time, and changing the pads and bleeding them didn't solve the problem. We installed this master cylinder in under an hour (including bleeding it on the bench) and after bleeding the brakes again, the problem was resolved. No more pedal on the floor. I gave it 4 stars because the included end caps didn't fit well after the bank was bled, so be prepared for some leaks. Also, some bleeding instructions (along with some tubes to work with) would be really great, but I was able to find what I needed on YouTube (thanks, Poster!) and I ended up with only clear vinyl tubes. I could make it work.

Pros
  • Great construction
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
