I bought haynes manual (should of bought chilton) I checked the picture it provides but I cannot find brake fluid reservoir just the coolant and windshield wiper fluid. Can someone show me a visual picture of where it is. I must be blind since I cannot find it.

 

dont have a pic handy, but its right near the brake booster in the far right if your looking at it from front

 

may be different in other years but i doubt they moved it

 

yup, but yours will have a metal resivour insted of the plastic one.

Fill out your jeep info...

 

1. Looking..

2. Done. (jeep info)

 

This pic is from an '87.... it should be the same (or similar) to what you see. The brake fluid reservoir is circled in red.

 

Here's a closer pic. It's the metal lid at the bottom of the pic...the one with the wire holding it in place.

Thanks for the help guys found it last night with the pics you guys provided.

 

new problem. It appears 9mm is to small to loosen the bleeder nipple and 10mm is to big... What actual size do I need? 9.5mm?

 

try a 3/8"

 

Man you are scaring me! If you can't find the master cylinder under the hood, please don't try and fix your brakes without any help!

 

No I found out I have been working on car(s) most of it was on DSM the eagle talon DSM I should say. (I did not realized you also called xj DSM too I thought it would only be eagle talon and what not.)

I did. To big so I went to autozone and we looked it up and there was also 5/16 available and I got 5/16 and it was also to small.

 

use a small crescent wrench

 

Yep my last option.

 

definitly 3/8, probably partially rounded it with the 10mm.
