[6pack] Almost...

[Tom Walling]

Tell me more about the master cylinder... What do you mean by "flipping the new rubber seal in the master cylinder's rear circuit"? I have a professionally rebuilt MC (by Apple Hydraulics) that appears to be leaking and that goes almost to the bottom before the brakes finally "do their thing". Also, it makes a croaking sound like a sick frog! I'm loath to suspect Apple in tis because of their reputation for many years of quality rebuilds, but there is been very few miles put on the MC since I got it back - a couple of years, yeah, but no miles (you all know what that means...). 


Why did you opt for a new one and not rebuild it yourself?

Before I could stop him, Kelum slammed the brake pedal to the floor, flipping the new rubber seal in the master cylinder's rear circuit. That was a few days ago.

I hope to get the brakes re-bled this weekend, the door locks/cylinders off, and a trailer reserved to transport the car to the painter. Woohoo! I will then just need to wait for a dry day.
