I have a 48 CJ2A, Ser. Number 177318. The master break cylinder does not appear to pressurize any of the four brake lines... or at least no air or fluid is forced out at the wheels when 'bleeding". could this be a failure of the cylinder piston or one of the rubber cups? No idea how to proceed other than a complete replacement of the master cylinder.
Willys Jeep Parts Tech:
Its usually best to replace the master cylinder all together. We do sell a repair kit too part number: 805654 if the bore on your old master cylinder is still good.
