Re: Clutch master cylinder nuts are ovaled on one end???
Well I found a small tip for ya maybe... I picked up a 16mm open-end wrench
for a buck at the hock shop... I slide that onto the left-hand bolt head
inside the firewall and rest it against the brake master... then I tighten
from inside the vehicle with a 5/8 (close enuf) spark plug socket on a 3"
extension... on the right-hand bolt it's close enough to the body of the
master that it holds fast. I picked up a 16mm socket for a buck too, but had
to switch back to the deep socket pretty quick.
It went back on easier than it came off except for a stupid bracket inside
the cabin running from the firewall to the side panel by the firewall
(wtf?). The holes wouldn't like up so I had to rig some wire ties to hold it
in place... I had to pull the washer bottle too :o) But no wobble extension
needed.
So I get it all back together and I'm ready to work on bleeding... I'm
pumping the pedal...
And the *%$@#*!@ piston pulls completely out of the master... it just
dropped right the &%#$ out :o(
I am not a happy camper lol. Gotta call O'Reilly in a minute.
And I was liking this new master cyl... has a translucent plastic reservoir
with a bayonet cap... the body looks like steel instead of aluminum. But
man....
Grrr.... &*%#$@^!*
