[TR] master cylinder rebuild

[Jeremiah Curry]

Just replaced the seals on my 57 and didn't have the problem and I didn't
hone them.

My only problem is getting the pipes to stop leaking where they enter the
master cylinders.

Subject: [TR] master cylinder rebuild

I've installed new rebuild kits in my 1960 tr-3 master cylinder's  (clutch
and 
brake) and find when i push in the plungers they won't spring 
back..............just stick.  One is worse than the other but neither seems

serviceable.  I've honed both cylinders and due to the age i'd imagine
they've 
been honed before over the years so  I'd assume if any problem existed that 
they'd be too loose if anything.  I've measured the inside dimensions and
the 
cylinders are 75's so I am pretty sure I have the correct kit.
My question is whether others on the list have had the same problem.  I'm 
thinking the old springs inside might be weak and new springs might correct
the 
problem?
thanks
