leaking master brake cylinder


Recommended Posts

Guys, before I take this p.o.s. rebuilt master cylinder I was wondering if anyone had any luck fixing it?

 

It leaks between the copper washer and the 23/24 mm nut on front/rear lines. The nut has the 10mm opening for the brake line. I torqued as much as I could those two nuts and the brake fluid still seeps through. The unit is a fresh rebuilt from rockauto. All lines are brand new.

 

My plan was to take the master cylinder off, take those nuts off and file the surfaces of the cylinder itself, nut and both sides of the washer. Would this fix it or would you rather return the part back to the vendor for another rebuilt unit? I am afraid that I am going to get another hastely assembled unit.

 

Thanks!

Den
