Master cylinder question

[89JeepYJ]

Hey everyone!

I replaced the master cylinder with one from Rick Auto. It seems as if there was a push rod included with the part. However, I’m not sure where the push rod, if that’s what it is, would go. It seems as if the master cylinder bolted right up to the booster. Do I not need this rod?

That’s probably for bench bleeding.

Curious, too, maybe you should but you don’t have to. Not a fun job on top of brake pedal assembly. Give brakes an emergency push at 40mph and you will know what issues are left.
