List:
I need a reminder.
Before "getting into" the process of correcting a
minor leak of the right front brake hydraulics, I would
appreciate the answer to the difference between the
inner and outer cylinders.
While "I'm at it", I plan to replace the steel tubing
at each front wheel, because the existing tubing is
badly rusted. I have the new tubing to replace the
existing, I purchased several years ago. It is 'pre
bent' into proper configuration, together with correct
fittings and tube flares.
I have one 'brand new, pristine' wheel cylinder. I am
hoping that it is the correct one for the one which is
leaking. "50/50 chance". It is the one which has a
"V" shaped seat at the bottom of one bore, and what,
might be described as a "W" shaped seat, at the bottom
of the other bore.
Now, what really causes me confusion, is that I
examined the 4 cylinders I removed when I last did a
front brake overhaul. Three of them had "V" shaped
seats on BOTH ends; while only one had had a "W" shaped
seat on one end.
That suggests that I had a 'wrong' wheel cylinder,
through the entire period of one front brake overhaul
'cycle'. At this point, I don't know what's in there
now.
How should they be, and can they be installed
interchangeably without getting into trouble?
Appreciate any help!!
