Installing new master brake cylinder

[SadbutTrue]

Well, this is for a Dodge Charger (circa 1973) but I think I might have to replace mine soon too so I might as well ask.

I've never installed one before, any tips for getting the old one out and the new one in? And also about the bleeding procedures for the master cylinder itself and all the lines (ie... any ways to make it easier... and go faster..)? Anything I should look out for in general?

Thanks

usually held on w two bolts. Dont forget to bench bleed it during installation (either physically on your bench or after you mount it to the booster).

Yes, bench bleedings need to be done.

I bought a kit that has some plastic hose and a few plastic fittings. Only cost $4 and it allows me to just mount the cylinder and then pump the pedal a few times to bleed the cylinder.

You'll want to bleed your lines after. Make sure you have a friend with you to do it, otherwise you'll need a brake bleeder kit, or a vacum pump with catch canister. The vacum pump is my favorite method.. no pedal pumping and since there is a catch canister, no wasted fluid or mess.
