Master Brake Cylinder

[russ]

Hi,

Anti lock brakes on a 96 Olds Ciera. Can anyone tell me how to get to the two bolts that hold the master cylinder to the anti lock mechanism? I have the entire unit out but can't figure out how to seperate it from the part that has the brake line connections, there is a black box attached that makes it impossible to access these bolts. Thanks.

Is it this one?

Thanks Airjer, that's the one. I took the bottom cover off and exposed three gear wheels. I didn't want to go any further until I knew if I was on the right track so I put the cover back on. Russ

I'm not entirely sure it is serviceable unless the whole assembly is replaced.

Hopefully either Macgyver55 or 4wanderingeyes will see this and chime in if they know.

There is a procedure to do it, but you need a scan tool to relieve the pressure from the solenoids.

Thanks guys, I was on the right track, just didnt go far enough. Not sure about the scan tool to relieve pressure, I just took it apart and slowly let the wheels turn to relieve the pressure. Fairly straight forward repair. Thanks again.
