1992 Honda VX hatch

I've dealt with a lot of different things while working on my vehicles over the years, but I have never had to deal with a leaking master brake cylinder. It is running down the face of the brake booster.

Is there a simple seal replacement or rebuild kit? I'm usually an OEM guy and I know the OEM master brake cylinder is quite expensive for a car worth 3-4k.

If there is not a simple seal or rebuild kit then what is the interchange on this part between other years/models? It is a vx, which tends to always have some sort of slightly different part so I always have to double/triple check before interchanging parts. I don't mind a used OEM one from the yard. Are the aftermarket (napa, oreilly's, autozone etc..) any good or worth a D***?


Thanks for any input

No repair kit. I would just get an aftermarket one and call it a day bro.

<p>I've purchased repair kits for wheel cylinders and calipers, but you also must hone the cylinders clean and smooth to do it right.</p>

Just for ***** I went on advanced auto and got a quote for both the master cylinder and booster, for your car, for $95.77 shipped, with promo code trt41. It takes $40 off any $100+ order. Might as well get both and get it over with.

I have done calipers but not cylinders. Rockauto usually has the cheapest repair kits. Tedious work but a lot cheaper than a pair of calipers.

I would go ahead and take everything apart first like pulling the MC off and inspecting the brake booster and make sure no liquid got in it

Thanks for the input! I'll just go with the after market stuff then instead of a good used OEM unit.
