Bad Brakes
Posted in The Long Rode on August 29th, 2010 by WadeIt was going to happen sooner or later. Alex and wanted to pull apart the master cylinder in order to check out how bad a shape it is in. So to start we had to take off the bolts holding on the foot boards. Of course one of the hinge bolts snapped. But we still couldn’t get the master cylinder off. Since there’s more then one way to skin a cat we just unscrewed the piston from the brake peddle. Then we tried to take off the brake line. Unfortunately the brake line nut is seized in the master cylinder. So now were stuck. After that we tried to just pull the guts out of the MC but again to no avail. I got the retaining clip out and a bunch of powder came poring out. Alex asked if it was okay to be around. So here we are with a broken foot board, a seized brake line and rotted internals. Lots of fun.
