Howdy -- Thanks to all the folks who helped me decide to do the entire
brake system at once! I found that (in addition to the gunk in the
front calipers) that one rear cylinder was completely frozen.
I opted to have a go at rebuilding the various components, and have
had ok luck so far. The brake master cylinder has me a bit perplexed
though. This is on a 74.5 MGB (RB) with the rectangular reservoir
(dual system?). According to my various books, I am supposed to
remove the ring from the piston and remove the spring, etc. My
problem is, how do I remove that ring? It does not appear to be split
(I could be blind), and even if it is, how do I do it without scoring
the piston?
Thanks much for any additional help -- I am getting depressed missing
all the sunny days in Seattle!
cheers
