[Mgs] 1967 MGB-GT Master Cylinders

[Osborne, Paul]

the last time I did this job , and I replaced both cylinders, it was easiest to take the entire peddle box out of the car. This give you access to all of the parts and can renew if needed, clean up the area and reinstall.

Last time I did this, I just pulled the entire master cylinder box. In the end, I think it was the easier way to do that job. Since I love flirting with Ship Wright's disease, I also replaced the pedal bushings and pivot bolts.

It’s good to see some new chatter on this list. Did everyone go off to FaceBook or something?

I’m preparing to replace both the brake master cylinder and the clutch master cylinder. I’ve not done this job on the MGB (1967 GT, single circuit) before and I’m not quite sure how to proceed. The workshop manual just says to disengage the pedals, disconnect the pipes, and remove the fixing bolts. The space around the hydraulic lines and the cylinder fixing bolts is very tight and I’m having trouble making my arthritic hands work in there. Has anyone done this before and have any useful tips?

Thanks for any help.

Cheers,

David
