(CB750 and others) Master brake cylinder overhaul

[Sgt.Pinback]

Will have to overhaul my KO master brake cylinder. Boot is toast.

In order to get out the clip of the master brake piston HONDA says grip 07073-30001.

Where to get one or what tool do you use?

Something like this I think…

Or try an ebay search for long nosed circlip pliers...

I found I had to grind down the pliers in your link to reach the clip
I have since found it easier to remove the clip with a small pick or screwdriver

I managed to remove the circlip when I did the MC on my 400 with a pair of these:

If the seals are OK and its just the boot you only need to get out a wire coirclip that is not in a groove
