Master cyl
« on: March 13, 2016, 06:36:31 PM »
I've taken my master cyl apart because it was leaking by the handle. Everything looks good but has some dirty crud. Could this of been causing the leak? Can they be cleaned or is rebuilt the only way to go?

Both. Clean it and replace all rubber parts/seals with a rebuild kit. Not worth the chance on anything brake related. Cheap insurance while you have it apart.

Yeah absolutely, if you already have it apart than you're over the hardest part, which is usually getting the circlip out.

Once that's done the rest is a cakewalk.  Throw a rebuild kit into it.
