Master cylinder change out...

Hey guys,

I have a newb question...

I have read a lot about upgrading the 1st gen 4runner braking system.

LCE and various other companies have this master cylinder.

Since I have a 87 4runner turbo it looks like I have most of the upgrades except for the dual resevior master cylinder.

How hard or easy is it to change out in the garage?

If it is easy....are there any other steps I need to do after it is changed?

Or...are there any better hints on upgrading these brakes...pads, rotors,ect...

thank you...

Changing out MCs aren't that hard.. make sure to follow the directions to bench bleed it first, but its pretty straight forward after that....
