CJ 7 Brake Master Cylinder
During wheeling Saturday I lost my brakes in my '79 CJ7, haven't had
much time to diagnose it, due to yesterday being Mothers Day. My wife was mad I even had to borrow a trailer and go back and get the Jeep Sunday morning. I believe it may be leaking fluid from the Mastercylinder as I am losing fluid from both resevoirs. I could not diagnose it Saturday as it was to covered in mud to see anything and I was busy helping our club with the rest of our event. Picts can be seen here: http://www.mudnuts.org/gallery/dalton04 including a rolled UniMog. oh yeah, back to my problem.... Some of you may remember me posting last week about my brake issues due to a sticking e-brake cable, I wonder if driving with the rear brakes locked then out of adjustment put to much stress on my resevoir. I looked online at NAPA and see many different choices for Master Cylinders for manual brakes. What are the differences besides new/rebuilt? Is there a big difference between a new and rebuilt unit? -- o_o_o_o /| ,[_____], |ŻŻŻL --O|||||||O- ()_)Ż()_) ŻŻŻŻŻ )_) |

Anybody????
Also more info.... In the near future I will be swapping in a rear Dana44 from a 74 CJ5, which has 11" rear drums instead of my current 10.75" drums on the AMC 20. Should I go ahead and get the MC from a 74? But the 74 was designed for fron drums where I will be keeping my front disks.

Re: CJ 7 Brake Master Cylinder
My guess is the rim and rubber seal on the fluid container are dirty
letting it leak out the top.

Re: CJ 7 Brake Master Cylinder
There has been fluid leaking around the firewall since I bought it, that
is what make me think the seal finally died. What do you think about the difference when I change the rear axle to a Dana 44? Will I need a different MC?
