Master Cylinder

(1/5) > >>

mickwinf:
Got a problem with the master cyl rebuild, the circlip  that holds the piston in has broken, one of the ends with a hole has snapped off.Any ideas welcome!

hairygit:
You could try using a pair of long/fine nosed pliers to pull the remaining hole in the clip away from the wall of the m/cyl, then slide something thin (old feeler gauge?)behind it so the clip can't go back in the groove, then try pulling the feeler gauge round to dislodge the rest of the clip from the groove, has worked for me in the past. Then it should be fairly easy to remove ???

LesterPiglet:
Hmmm, is it the old one or the new?

mickwinf:
Les its the spare one i got to replace the broken original, i will try hairygits method, will get the bugger out one way or another, its all part of the fun (or so i tell the wife!)

LesterPiglet:
I used one of those precision screwdrivers to lever the old one out, you could use a fine punch or scribe.
