Girling Master Cylinder tips?
Posted: 26 Jul 2010, 14:26
Hi all,
Just got done doing the Appleby calipers on my Barlotti and took a look at the girling master cylinders.
Managed to pump out the piston assembly using a foot pump and vaious bits of tube, and the seals look fine, and th ebore nice and smooth with no pitting. On refitting however, you can push the rod down but it doesnt return quickly (if you leave it for 20 seconds it slowly creeps back up to rest at the top). This is the same for both of them, so im wondering if I should reassmble dry or lubricate with brake fluid or some sort of grease?
As always any and all pointers appreciated (especially in this instance as it will be going on the track at rowrah regardless
)
Cheers
Justin
