Brake Master Cylinder Rebuild Help Needed
Brake Master Cylinder Rebuild Help Needed
resleeved since the old bores were rusty.
They bored out the cylinder in preparation for inserting a stainless steel
sleeve to bring the inside diameter back to original.
In so doing they bored out most of the groove that the circlip fits in that
holds the piston and spring in. That would be OK if the new sleeve included
a new groove, but it does not since the new sleeve only comes to the bottom
of the groove, which is now mostly gone.
I think they should have made a new sleeve that completely filled up the
bore and included a new groove for the circlip.
So I sent them back.
Apple Hydraulics is saying they will send a new larger circlip as the
solution. But the problem is that there is very little groove left; that is
why the original circlip is being pushed due to the pressure of the spring.
I have had Apple listed in our R90sWorldnet links as a good source for
resleeving master cylinders, but maybe that is a mistake.
Does anyone have any ideas or advice about this?

Do you mind me asking what you paid to have Apple do the work? Also I see reproduction MC are for sale at EME.
Anyway I will touch base with Glenn about his problem with the re sleeved unit and find out what the solution was. St.
