Saturn Ion Brake Master Cylinder
The Brake Master Cylinder is an important system component of Brake system in Saturn Ion vehicles as it is positively involved in foot pedal to hydraulic operating force changes. This hydraulic pressure in turn makes the slave cylinders which then brings into force the brake hence producing the needed friction to hold the vehicle. Most Saturn Ion models come with dual circuit master cylinders so that in the event that one of the circuits might fail, the other can supply enough braking power. The Saturn Ion Brake Master Cylinder design comprises pistons with seals and spring accommodation in cast iron or aluminium. The stock models have a built-in reservoir though most of them have a nylon/plastic external reservoir. This configuration provides for good fluids control and prevents the ingress of air into the system. Maintenance is necessary because some problems like leakage of brake fluid or internal loss of pressure to the brake can occur and affect braking which is made possible by the Brake Master Cylinder so that the Saturn Ion can be safely operated.
Each OEM Saturn Ion Brake Master Cylinder we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
Saturn Ion Brake Master Cylinder Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How do you remove the master cylinder?A: To remove the brake master cylinder, start by disconnecting the negative battery cable and removing as much fluid as possible from the reservoir. If the vehicle has a manual transaxle, disconnect the clutch fluid hose and plug it or wrap it in a plastic bag. On certain models, remove the cover from the underhood fuse/relay box, the underhood electrical center, and the transmission control module if necessary. Place rags under the fluid fittings and prepare caps or plastic bags to cover the ends of the lines. Loosen the fittings at the ends of the Brake Lines and plug the ends to prevent contamination. Disconnect the remote brake fluid reservoir hose on ION models and remove the mounting fasteners to detach the remote reservoir. Disconnect the electrical connector at the brake fluid level switch and remove the nuts attaching the brake master cylinder to the power booster. Carefully pull the brake master cylinder off the studs and out of the engine compartment. If installing a new brake master cylinder, transfer the reservoir to the new one after removing the retaining pins. To install the new brake master cylinder, bench bleed it first by mounting it in a vise and attaching bleeder tubes to the outlet ports. Fill the reservoir with brake fluid and slowly push the pistons into the brake master cylinder to expel air. Repeat until no more air bubbles are present, then remove the bleed tubes and install plugs. Install the brake master cylinder over the studs on the power Brake Booster and tighten the attaching nuts. Thread the brake line fittings into the brake master cylinder by hand and tighten them securely. Connect the brake fluid switch electrical connector and, if applicable, the fluid hose from the clutch master cylinder. Fill the brake master cylinder reservoir with fluid and bleed the brake master cylinder and brake system. Finally, test the operation of the brake system before normal use.
