HELP!! please Changing brake master cylinder,got extra hole

Post by toolsntat »

Ok, had been getting a few probs with brake pedal action so bought a new master cylinder today and the brakes have just gone all together now :cry:

Well my usual mechanic (brother :wink: ) is unable to help until tomorrow night :roll: and I really would like to be away to Burton on Trent at dinner tomorrow...

So, do you reckon me and Mr Haynes can get this done between us and on the road by then :roll: :roll:

Any hints or tips would be welcome.....

Thank you
Andy

It must be fairly straightforward because two yoofs from the local halfwits type emporium did mine in 30 mins.

Great all nips loose inc clutch slave that put up a fight but heat and penetrating fluid won out :D :D

The master cylinder I have has got an extra hole compared to the one thats on :?

Can I put a bolt in that hole to blank it off :?: :?:
