The pieces are all there. The internal piston part is ok. Then the pedal’s attached plunger with the washer in place is pushed into the cylinder, including the washer. Yes the washer has to go inside the cylinder. It has to fit the bore of the cylinder. When that is in past the circlip groove the circlip is installed and that keeps the whole mess in place. The external boot is snapped into place over the end of the master cylinder to keep the leaky stuff inside. And the dirt stuff outside. Tain’t rocket science here, folk. It was incorrectly assembled before. If that one? Then check the clutch master as well because it may have been done the same way. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Drmayf<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>World’s Fastest Sunbeam.
