So I did a search and couldn't find anything on this topic.

I need to replace my master cylinder (94 lx) and I was wondering if anyone how hard of a job is it to do with the help of a friend and how long should it take us?

Remove lines = 5-10min (If you have a line/flare nut wrench)
Remove MC = 5-10 min
Replace MC = 5-10 min
Replace lines = 5-10 min
Bleed Break lines = 30 min

The most time consuming part of the job will be bleeding the brakes. A job like this you should be able to do within an 1hr, 2hrs max.

Place you may run into problems is if you do not have a flare nut wrench. If you only have a standard open end wench I would suggest soaking the fittings with WD-40/PB blaster and then hitting them with with a torch for 30 sec. Crack the fittings after heating them. Loosen them a few turns but do not fully remove them until they have cooled.

 

guess the slave cylinder would be about same process? anyone know where its at on a 90 accord 4 door?

Thanks for the link.

 

GhostAccord is spot-on. I did the job myself, with the correct wrench, and it was easy. The hardest part was bench-bleeding the MC, and that wasn't hard, just sorta irritating. I had my dad help me bleed the brake lines, but I probably coulda done the entire job myself. With a friend's help, you'll be golden. Get the flare-nut wrench though. You'll hate yourself if you round off those nuts on the brake lines.

it is a pretty easy task just make sure u bench blead the master. it will make leading the brakes after u put it on so much easier.
