I had the front brake rotors replaced approx 6 months ago. Abt 2 months ago, I noticed a "snapping" or "popping" sound coming from the brake master I think it is bad.

Hi,

Replacing the brake master cylinder isn't a difficult job. However, it will take some time. The first thing you need to keep in mind is the new master cylinder will need bench-bled prior to installation.

To get you started, here is a link that shows in general how it is done. Use this as a guide when performing the job. It also discusses bench bleeding which is helpful.

If you look at the attached pics, they include the directions and pictures specific to your vehicle.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe
