<DIV><FONT color=#1f497d face=Calibri>Needing that number of presses does sound
more like master pressure seal problems than the slave piston getting nudged
back. I had kind-of similar on an old master, but it could happen at any
time or not at all, and how much travel I lost varied from operation to
operation. In that case it seems to have been caused by a cracked seal
spreader applying pressure to one side of the seal only, and cocking it in the
bore: <A

Replacing the seal caused no end of problems as there are different kits for the
original master.</FONT></DIV>
