URGENT...........think im sorted thanks

[Mr Sam]

got the car in bits the plan was to just stick a whole new cylinder on but i cant get the nuts un done to remove it or the brake pipe off without cutting it

 

 

 

its been leaking a while hence why my burnouts were rather half hearted

 

 

stripped it down with ease

 

 

now can i get away with just stripping the internals out the new cylinder and basically refurbing the old one, ive given it a good clean and it must of been leaking from the rubbers

 

 

wooooooooo then just the horn to change the floor to fix and shes ready for an MOT

[Mr Sam]

someone please

 

is it to pikey or ghetto or will i get away with it

[V8ian]

If the head is really mullered, its probably down to Mole grips, if you are gentle with them you may be able to use the fitting again after a dress up with a file

[jimbo]

Have you got one of those 10/11mm brake pipe spanners?

 

 

They come round the nut more and grip better than a standard. I bought one when I was having trouble undoing my brakes and it sorted it right out!

[LEONMEX]

just check the bore size is the same sam,if so you should be ok you used to be able to buy refurb kits so can't see to many probs

[Mr Sam]

yeah wish id bought the re-furb kit at 99p instead of £10 for 2 cylinders

 

the bits went in it okay new shoes are on and im just about to start bleeding them all with fresh fluid
