- This is a remake of my first video. In this video I show the importance of adjusting your master cylinder pushrod. I hope this video helps.

Simple. To the point. Helpful. Good job
Thank you for the infor. I am from Papua new guinea. I have that particular problem with my brake system. Now with your explanation I will now be able to fix my problem.
That's great!
Very nice video
Awesome
These measurements are always like car wrecks,there is 10 different stories about it,lol, a lot of car manuals say that it should almost touch,some articles say 20 thousandth of an inch,some say 10 thousands,lol
Pretty sure it's 100th of an inch
ten thousands of an inch= .010" will work nicely.
my master cylinder has a tube that sticks out about 1 1/2 inches from the flange..
will this tool still work with that tube sticking out>>
If the rod was not adjusted out far enough would that cause a condition where you break pedal is not returning to the proper position? I am seeing my brake lights stay on. If i reach down and pull on the pedal the lights will go off.
That means the rod inside the car on the neck of the brake pedal, specifically the metal part with the tongs, the resting point has to come out more.
Sheesh. The pedal return spring returns the pedal to the top position when you release the pedal. The position of the pushrod does not affect pedal height. However, as the clearance of the pushrod increases, the pedal travel increases to engage the brake, creating a softer feel to the brakes. Iffen the master cylinder is preloaded/engaged by a pushrod that is too long, then the brakes can drag and the pedal will feel hard.
Does that change the pedal rod length?
I'm not quite sure what you mean
whats the name of tool
Amazon $15. Don't get a plastic one. Get an aluminum one.
@@novakenssSome of these come with magnets now on the tips, only way to go, at least on the booster side,most master cylinders are aluminum but boosters are usually metal, magnets are awesome, sticks right on so you wont have to be moving and guessing.
@@dntlss Yes, magnets are attracted to steel. Other metals, not so much.
@@novakenss Get you one with magnets on the legs that cling to the master cylinder and booster. Very high speed.
Be honest 😅
