Master Cylinder Leaking in Foot Box

[dwathencars]

I recently replaced both brake cylinders on CSX2367 with NOS Girling cylinders - I believe the mounting and mechanisms are the same as yours. I found it better to go ahead and pull the balance bar mechanism out. During install I had my wife, Lori, hold the bolt heads inside with a long flex extension. I replaced the cotter pins in the clevis pins with spring clips to avoid the problem of the cotter pins maybe twisting into an interference problem. I used a couple of different magnet extension to position the pins and hardware. This whole task was a reminder that I'm not as flexible as I used to be...... Dave

Thanks Dave!

It is a real pain to work in that small foot box, while trying to get to the bolt head. Going to take a 2nd try at it tomorrow, and will hope for the best!

By the way, just to confirm, is the lower cylinder towards the engine for the front brakes, with the one above for the rear, and the clutch to the left?

Thanks,
