Master Cylinder

<< < (2/5) > >>

mickwinf:
got it out! used a couple of thin screwdrivers and worked it out bit by bit, thanks for encouragement guys,

mickwinf:
another query about the master cyl, the little holes that lead from the main resovoir to the tube, only one of these is a through hole, the other is a blind hole (not blocked with debris)is this correct?

Bryanj:
NO NO NO, Both have holes BUT the one you think hasn't is VERY tiny and cleans out with a pin, easiest way to check if its clear is put one of thos tidgy torches (turned on of course) over the indentation in the reservoir and see if you can see light looking down the main bore.

Blockage of this hole is the most common cause of the front brake "Hanging On"

mickwinf:
thanks Bryan will check it out

mickwinf:
Bryan you are right again, the hole is tiny, even a pin was too fat to go through, i used a modelling drill bit size 0.3 mm. Now reassembled and painted, on to the next job!
