- How do I know this master cylinder fits my car?
- Match the Beck/Arnley 0720012 part number against your vehicle's original master cylinder or the manufacturer's application list. Fit depends on the engine, brake type and model year, so check before ordering.
- Is this new or remanufactured?
- It is sold as a new brake master cylinder, not a rebuilt core. That matters if you want to avoid the seal wear that comes with a remanufactured unit.
- What else should I replace at the same time?
- Brake fluid, and any cracked reservoir or worn cap on the cylinder. Inspect the brake lines and hoses while the system is open, since a leak elsewhere will mimic a bad master cylinder.
- Does it need bleeding after installation?
- Yes. Air must be bled from the master cylinder and the brake lines before the pedal is firm. Some installers bench-bleed the cylinder before fitting it.
- Will it change how the brake pedal feels?
- It should restore the firm pedal the car had with a healthy original cylinder. A spongy pedal after install usually means air is still in the system.
- Where is the Beck/Arnley 0720012 Brake Master Cylinder cheapest?
- At Walmart, for $70.78, as of our latest check.
