dont want to hijack a thread here but i think my question fits best here...
I have a LHD brake cylinder that Im rebuilding. first off, whats with the stupid press on dust seal reaitner??!! Is this stock or does it show that I have an after market unit?
I will check the markings when I get home but I have another issue...
the seal in the kit was just a tad oversized (1/8" diameter larger than stock max) I went about the rebuild as instructed the only thing I didnt do was lubracate the walls with some unused brake fluid... I insted used some of the red grease.
Well I fought like crazy to get the plunger assembily in place and compressed it to test and the plunger didnt come back up!!
then I went to put the dust seal into the press on cap and the dust seal seems to be oversized by about the same amount!!
did I get the wrong seal kit?
or
are there two diffrent boars about 1/8" diffrence?
or
is it just that tight because I used a thick grease insted of the fluid?
