I had major problems attempting to rebuild my PDWA as described on my web
page.  When the brake lines were previously tightened into the unit, they
flared on the ends to a diameter that was too large to get past the threads
on removal, so they tore the brass threads up on the way out.  I could not
tell if this was factory work or an overzealous repair person, but I was
forced to replace my PDWA with one that was "sort of" the same from Moss.
Hope yours goes better.

not.  Your rubber O rings are the culprit.  I think I purchased mine from
Moss motors, but I am not sure.  At least one, if not all three of the big
three should carry them.  They are inexpensive and not difficult to replace.
The biggest hassle you will have is having to empty the master cylinder
again.
