Is the plastic resevoir on the brake cylinder easliy replacable or do I have
to replace the entire cylinder?
Looks like the plastic resevoir is press fitted on the cylinder as I don’t see
any other way of removing it.
Any idea?
This guy:
You can just pop that sucker right off. You are not however supposed to re-use the two little seals on each side. So if you replace the tank go ahead and order 2 new seals.
My buddy fiber glass coated his… some mixture he used on his canoe…fiber glass patch liquid. Worked mint, it hardened quite well.
The only reason I want to replace it is because ambient heat from my
turbo melted the side of the face, permanently fusing the cap. :oops:
I had an ABS cylinder that I replaced with a non-abs cylinder (since I
removed my ABS unit). I have the original ABS cylinder w/ resevoir
however it has 3-ports whereas the non-ABS has two. So I figure I just
replace the resevoir.
Any tips on popping it off so as to not break anything? :dunno:
take a putty knife and notch it with a 90 - 100mm opening. slip it between the plastic and cast housing… this will pry up evenly on the plastic flange without overstressing the plastic, thisis how I just did the FC master cylinder and the mounting is even more delicate then yours…
and get get some 22 ga SS sheet and make a damn heat shield!!!
I bought some Thermotec adhesive sheild that I bought last week; just
haven’t installed it yet.
