master cylinder circlip

<< < (2/3) > >>

hector2800:
From memory I have used something  like an old Dart which has a strong point on it to basically twist the damn circlip out of its groove .I agree about the swearbox it can take hours for a bloody little thing.

MIKE550/4:
well what can i say after about the 80th time to practise this it was easy in the end  :D

hope i never have to do this again, anyone doing this good luck dreading putting it back in now

Bryanj:
reassembly is p easy compared to getting that clip out!!!

MIKE550/4:
following on from this, the m/c needs painted first

any special paint needed for this or more hard wearing paint that anyone could recommend,

or will  sanding, primering, painting and i think laquer if that would hold up

brake fluid is nasty,

Bryanj:
Mask all the important bits and powder coat
