'95 Odyssey Master Cylinder Replacement
 

The master cylinder in my '95 Odyssey has apparently given out. After a
slow sinking pedal, it finally gave up, now giving me brakes only for the
right front (and I think left rear) wheels of the car. The price of the
master cylinder is not too bad, but installing with the ABS (which has also
failed), seems beyond what a home mechanic can do. If a shop has to do
this, how much time to replace, install, and bleed?

Just install and bleed the system, ignoring the ABS. ARe you talking
about fixing (the ABS) too?

Re: '95 Odyssey Master Cylinder Replacement
 

A flare nut wrench helped me greatly when I replaced my master cylinder
with ABS a few monts ago. After bleeding the brakes, I was concerned about
the the fluid in the ABS. To bleed the ABS, I followed some excellent
advice from Jim and exercised the ABS on a gravel road.
