Master cyl replacement
Couldn't find any tech tips. Anyone changed one on an 89? Or just basic tips on what not to do. Told new cyl will not come with a mounting gasket 
. Is there not one used or what should I do?
Thanks in advance.

I did one a couple of weeks ago. Follow the instructions that come with the new one on how to bench bleed. If yours is the same as mine, the nuts are 13mm. I used a short extension on 3/8" rachet.
The dude at the parts house recommend that the first few pushes on the brake be no further than about 1/4" till you see fluid start to flow thru the clear plastic bleeder tube. Then slowly build up to full strokes. Never heard it before, but I tried it anyway.
And, no gasket needed.

I watched a skilled friend take the lead on this a couple of months ago (I did some of the dumb work
). Brakes have been great ever since...
