Master Cylinder Location ?

[tnvolrvr]

Anyone know the location of the master cylinder on a 1997 Dolphin with Workhorse chassis?

Check from the front wheel well on the driver's side. It should be just a little bit in front and above the tire.

Thanks for info. Will try to locate it when back at campground this weekend..

As Tom said ahead and above right front tire and behind a splash shield. Real fun to get at.

Can you get to it without removing wheel?

1997 means you have a GM, not Workhorse chassis. Your '97 should be essentially the same as my '99, and the master cylinder is below the left hand exhaust manifold, but sort of above the suspension. I can access the master cylinder from above when the engine cover /doghouse is removed. No need to remove a wheel.

Yes. From the wheel well by reaching over/around the tire, I can add fluid, empty the master cylinder of brake ffluid prior to a fluid flush, and check fluid level by shining a flashlight behind the master cylinder - all without pulling the tire.
P.S. mine is a 1999 on the 16,500 lb chassis with the air bags at 70PSI.

Can you tell me how to remove the doghouse ?

Mine has 4 latches (inside) that I release and then just wrestle it out. It's harder to get back in/on than to take out.
