It's fairly easy to rebuild the master cylinder but, it goes without saying that it's a safety critical part and you need to be sure of your abilities before you commit to the rebuild.

Lots of places won't provide a rebuild kit due to the above but, search for Peugeot part numbers 463399 or 4633A0 and you'll find what you need.

This can be done on the car but it's a messy job so, put something over your engine and have plenty of absorbent things around to mop up the brake fluid

1) Remove the bulkhead heastshield, remove the brown brake fluid level sensor plug, ubdo the two 13mm nuts securing the master cylinder to the brake booster, unclip the brake lines and pull everything foward.


2) You'll probably have enough movement in the brake lines to rotate the master cylinder / reservoir assembly so that you can pour the brake fluid out. Get the rest of it with a syringe etc.


3) Remove this clip and pull out the pin, from the other side, to seperate the reservoir from the master cylinder.




4) Next, pop out the two seals that provide the seal between the master cylinder & reservoir.


5) Beneath the seal at the rear of the master cylinder is a round plate; lift it out with a magnet.


6) With the round plate out of the way you'll see the head of a dowel. Lift this out, again with a magnet; you may need to apply slight pressure to the piston part of the master cylinder.




7) Remove the large circlip.




8) The upper part of the piston will come out fairly easily, the lower part might need a wiggle side-to-side to get it out. In the picture below you can see the piston and the seals that need to be replaced. NOTE THE ORIENTATION OF THE SEALS before you start replacing them.
The seals to the left of the picture are replacements for the seals between the master cylinder & reservoir.


9) Put the spring and lower section of the piston in to the master cylinder having lubricated it with some brake fluid. Make sure the slot in the piston is aligned with the hole the dowel came from (the dowel goes through this slot).


10) Put the upper part of the piston in to the master cylinder having lubricated it with some brake fluid. Put the circlip back in place.

11) Replace the dowel, again applying pressure to the piston if you need to. Replace the round plate and insert the new master cylinder to reservoir seals. Re-assemble the master cylinder / reservoir assembly with the pin and clip.

12) Put everything back as you removed it and bleed your brakes.

I might be wrong but, I think it's painted But yes, once the guts are out it's just a lump of aluminium so could be vapour blasted with the openings blocked etc.



I did exactly the same thing! 4654.14 is just the master cylinder to reservoir seal kit.
I got my kit from ebay, there's various options but I went for Autofren part D1260. Sadly, the genuine Peugeot part is no longer produced (I checked with my local dealer ).

Other options are:
A.B.S. part 63566
ERT part 200444
Frenkit part 123010
