How do i get the brake master cylinder out of a super custom. It looks impossible. need help

Welcome to the forum, being that you have a HiAce SuperCustom and no one has done a write on that particular van but there are a few on the US Van Wagon that have been done for you to review.

I used the Advanced Search Feature and typed in “Master Brake Cylinder” and 5-6 threads came up that may help. I’m assuming the MBS is located behind the instrument cluster in your van as well??

What side is driver side in Kiwiland? Same as OZ? Does every thing switch side or just steering and pedals?

I’m assuming the SuperCustom is RHD cause I haven’t seen any LHD ones but I could be wrong. The location of the Brake Master Cylinder will be behind the instrument cluster cause the dash along with other relays, fuses, and wiring are on the other side, at least that’s how it is on my TownAce, But let’s get a confirmation from ken sub to be sure:thmbup:

Hmmmmm.... I’m not sure I understand, when you click on the link in posting #3 in this thread it should open a page referring to “Installing new Master Cylinder “ In that thread there’s 2 pages, posting #11 is located on the first page.

Ken, on that same thread there is also a link to a very well done video done by TVT member Armorell. He take the whole dashboard apart because he is also doing the clutch's master. Between this thread and the links, I think anyone should be able to figure it out. Not sayin' it's a peace of cake, it's not, but all that visual info make it a lot less intimidating; ....to me anyway. There is also a section that explain how to use the guts of a LHD into RHD master cylinder housing if that is all you can get. And If you come up with a new trick or two, please post it on here so we can all learn as well :wnk:

Hi guys i think i have seen all the info on a1987 van my one is a 1995 a completly different dash . I can see the booster and the master cylinder and i have removed the nuts off the master cylinder and the booster but still there seems to be no way of getting it out. remember this is a super custom there is a lot of crap under the dash board. surely some one has had the same problem. Again thanks for your patience . Ken

1995! :yikes:Jesus! a teenager! No wonder there is so much crap under the.....oops :redface: Is it a Townace, Litleace, Hiace??? Even my friend Google got it's pantie-hoses into a knot on that one. The best I got was a Two posting thread from OZ. ending on: " lots of plastic tabs to push out without braking them, good luck mate!" Funny Aussies:roflmao:. Looks like you're gonna have to take the prettiest mechanic from you nearest Toyota stealership for a date at the pub and extract some much needed info.
