Brake hydraulics etc

Due to problems the forum lost a message about brake master cylinder and caliper problems. If that person is still stuck(pun intended) please resubmit you question.

Anyway Yes,I am trying to strip and rebuild brake Master cylinder and after removing circlip and secondary piston pin I still can not remove inards have I missed something?

Try using air pressure at the secondary outlet port,same with calipers

Be careful if using air pressure, the internals can fly out with some force. Also, perform this act well away from the vehicle as brake fluid will spray around and you know what this could do to the painted surfaces of your car.

As far as the master cyl prob check there is not a second circlip half way down the bore.Dont get your fingers in the gap of the calliper and cover with a cloth .
As for suppliers have a look through the classic car mags for companies adverts.
