Master Cylinder ?

Got a 71 CJ5 ..... The brakes do not work unless pumped once or twice so i got to loking on here and in my jeep and discovered that my piston is leaking..... nothing else leaks.... does the Cardone new or rebuilt master cyl.. from my FLAPS come with the new piston and all together? or is it just the master? I have ordered one from my Oriellys and the old man there did not know.... Thanks

 

It's a complete MC. You'll have to change over the pushrod and grind a little off the top frame rail (just enough to allow the MC cover to fit).:v6:

 

top frame rail? what r u talkin about?

 

Like this. View attachment 20771 If your's comes off the firewall I apologize. I was thinking you had an early. Intermediates changed the location and used hanging pedals. Still, master cylinders come complete.:v6:

 

yep mine is on the firewall..... thanks for everything!

 

i dont know if it has been converted or not... i was told that Jeep was in the transition mode around the time my Jeep was made.... I DUNNO... I am new to the Jeep thing. But has been fun so far!!!

 

stock would be as noted by Glenn

 

A stock 71 would definitely be on the frame rail. A picture of your Jeep would help. It could have been altered at one time as this is a common swap. Where is your heater box?
Hooker why don't you finish filling out your profile and let us know where your from and a little about your Jeep?

 

I wonder what they were thinking. That's about the dumbest design I've ever seen. You can't even get a can of fluid through that hole.

 

I used a styrofoam cup last week.

 

Longer than that if you don't just look at Jeeps and start thinking of other cars and trucks from an earlier era.
I do exactly what Boyink suggested, but just how often do you have to add oil, maybe once every few years at most. I have added oil to mine twice in 15 years.

 

Somebody's getting picky.
