How to Clean a Motorcycle Master Cylinder

On behalf of Expert Village my name is Seth Williams. I work for D - K Service. I'm here to tell you about simple street bike brake repair and inspection. After you get the connecting rod out of your master cylinder you need to disassemble this to get your rubber seal off here, also the snap right and this special washer that you?re going to use in the reassembly. To do that take a 12 millimeter wrench, pair of pliers to lock it down, and go ahead and break that loose. Spin your linkage off. Spin your lock nut off. Spin the plunger nut off. After that is removed you're able to take the old plunger, snap ring, and the special washer out. Keep this aside because you?re going to need to use it to rebuild your master cylinder. Make sure it is also free and clear of grime and dirt as discussed in all the other steps. We are ready to rebuild.
