I tried rebuilding my clutck master but it was too far gone (very pitted)
so I ended up buying a brand new one from Sunbeam Specialties. It works
great. The cost was about $80.00 but worth it I think. I also went ahead
and bought a new brake master to avoid any headaches next time. It was
around $130.00.

Good luck
