Re: Master cylinder removal

Brilliant you guys!!!! It took about twenty minutes to remove the the master cylinder, including jacking, etc. - and about an hour to put the suspension back together!! :D For some strange reason, the photos uploaded upside down!! It was the right way up on my desktop! :lol: [frame] http://mmoc.org....

Re: Master cylinder removal

Thanks to all of you for your advice. I have an axle stand - I have some 2x1" and I have a chunky G clamp. It never occured to me to try and force the torsion bar downwards!!! Thanks again - now I have to put the suspension back together. I should have asked you guys before I started!

Master cylinder removal

I'm trying to replace the corroded brake master cylinder on my 1956 split screen Traveller. I've dismantled the front suspension as per not only the Haynes manual but also an original workshop manual, but when it comes to the bit where it says slide the lever off the splines, you've got to be joking...
