Changing master cylinder 92 B-2200 help
 
Can anyone gimme a quick run down of what I will need to do? I already have another cylinder ready to put on. My truck is a 92, 4 cylinder, 2.2 litre standard transmission fuel injected vehicle.

When changing the cylinder I have to bleed the brakes correct? Do I have to do anything with the clutch at all?

No, nothing is done to the clutch.

Yes, you will need to bleed the brake system, two bleeders in front, but only one in the rear. Bench-bleed the master cylinder before installing. Also, measure the depth of each cylinder (where the pushrod goes); if the differ, then I'd lengthen or shorten the pushrod accordingly, you need just a tiny pit of clearance.

Master cylinder brake hints and tips
(1) Bench-bleed the cylinder before installing.
(2) Use a flare wrench for inital loosening and final tightening of the lines.
(3) For brake master cylinder: adjust the pushrod length so that the freeplay is the same as the previous master cylinder (measure depth of bores, and adjust the pushrod the difference)
(4) Don't bend the line after it's loose
(5) Thread in the line fitting several turns by hand to avoid cross-threading, maybe even get this started before tightening the MC mounting bolts.
