Master cylinder

The way a master cylinder works is it converts non hydraulic pressure (e.g. from the drivers foot when the pedal is being depressed) into hydraulic pressure to be transferred into the wheel cylinders to apply the brakes.

In class we stripped a master cylinder down. We did this to see what was inside the master cylinder and check for scoring and marks in the cylinder itself.


We also used the honing tool to clean the inside of the cylinder if it was possible.
