Hi All, My 74 TR6 brakes continue to be spongy after bleeding the system and checking for leaks. I still have good stopping power, but at a stop light, I can feel the pedal continue to go down slowly

Yup. Depends on what condition your existing MC is in. Odds are good that just a rebuild kit will fix the problem for another 20 years or so. However, if the bore in the MC is pitted or worn, the li

If you're still struggling with bad brakes after doing the obvious (master cylinder, slave cylinders, calipers, discs, pads) then have a very close look at the run-out of the disc Some cars develop

Hello everyone, this is my first post but I have enjoyed your discussions for the last two years. I am trying to rebuild a leaking brake master cylinder in my 1975 TR6. I have removed the tipping val

CAREFULLY...apply a little compressed air in the forward brake line opening in the side of MC, or in the top port where reservoir attaches. Be carefully, or it will come out like a rocket! Martin Lib

Hi Bruce, I have always had luck by either carefully whacking the m/c squarely onto a firmly anchored piece of wood, or if that fails, using air pressure to extract the sticking plunger. Be careful w

I made a cool little M/C & caliper "popper" by brazing a grease fitting to the top of a bleeder screw. Screw in it (most of the way) then pump up with grease...It WILL come out. Kinda messy though. A

I thought it was extremely bad to use any petroleum products on brake parts. I thought the only stuff which should go in any of the parts is clean brake fluid. Comments? Peter Zaborski 76 TR6 (CF5831

Yes, the bastards always say that. I'm sure they only disassemble fairly new examples of each marque. Can you apply compressed air to it, somewhere? (If so, aim the assembly into a cardboard box or

I only use the "popper" after trying whacking, pushing down on the piston to help break the seal, and air pressure. If your are rebuilding the cylinder, it is perfectly acceptable to use grease in it

Now you might be onto something there. That didn't occur to me. I'm in the midst of rebuilding my master cylinders but have been put off by the near zero temps (F)we have here in Ohio right now. BTW

I think you are dealing with a DPO here, and you have come to the right place for help. Sit down and relax; we can help. Buy a new M/C in the confidence that it will work properly. Stay away from sil
