Brake Master Cyclinder Rebuild

Master Cyclinder Rebuild


Drill into the nylon bearing and use screws to pull out.



C-Clamp to hold plunger to remove circlip




Circlips from Autozone that are long enough to reach the 2nd circlip.



Internals of the cyclinder



Pitting at the neck of the cyclinder



Clean & Hone

The cyclinder is small, so I bought the smallest hone from Napa and still had to remove a washer & grind down the body of the hone to fit it all the way into the cyclinder.

Powdercoat Columbia All in One Chrome: Need to clearcoat.



How to remove the pin. Slide a nail to hold the spring and punch out (80% of the way) the pin. I used a nail with the tip ground off as a punch.

Manifold

Mainfold has been a broken ear in which the PO has welded on a stud.

Cut the stud off and trying to figure out the next step.
- Could purchase a c-clamp that is used instead of the stud
- Buy a used mainfold
- Mig welding won't bond to cast iron ( I think there is Nickel mig wire that would work)
- Going to use this on the mainfold.
