Has anyone bought one of these?
On a scale of swearing outbursts, how easy is it to rebuild the master cylinders?
Going to get my order off soon but keep seeing bits and thinking "Hmmmm..."
This thing will stop on a penny once it's back together![]()

I dont know how different they are but I have just rebuilt my rear master cylinder on a dominator

I've got a kit lying in the shed - I'm waiting till I go to braided hoses, may as well do the whole lot then..........
Let me know how you get on with it - then I'll go at it prepped with the necessary anti-swearing equipment............
There were a piece of piss to do on a Triumph and if you have a pair of circlip pliers, pm me if you need them, I intend doing mine very soon.![]()
OOhhh, forgot to say it helps if you have a georgous wife who makes pots of tea and delivers them to the garage at regular intervals.![]()
...............................and a huge paddling pool to cool the beers 4 when the job is done. Cant wait for some real brakes again after the winter!!
quite easy really one lesson i learnt doing them push the dust seal in with an appropriate sized socket from ya socket set, if you try to do it with a screwdriver it will not go in very easily, keeps popping out at the opposite side etc, and you run the risk on puncturing it in the process

Thanks a lot guys
I can hear my bank account cursing you though![]()
Isn't that the caliper seals Merv? The seals on the master cylinder are located on the plunger.
Anyway, whatever, I concur that a master cylinder rebuild is a piece of p!ss, once you strip the gubbins from the cylinder it'll all make sense. As said before, just make sure the seals are put on the right way round. On the swearing scale I think it only rates as a 'crikey', anything stronger is a mere indulgence.![]()
