    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Front MC - Order of Assembly

Back from the dead! I've been using this thread as a resource disassembling and reassembling my front MC. I seem to be having a problem pushing the piston back into the MC.... it's getting hung up at the rubber seal on the piston. Is this a procedure that needs to be done using brake fluid as a lubricant? If so, any tips on not ruining the paint on the MC? Thanks folks!
 
Yes, lots of fluid

Yes, lots of fluid

JC,

By all means, the piston, seals, and cylinder bore should be given a liberal coating of fresh brake fluid before reassembly.

Good luck!

Yeah - what he said. As far as the paint, if it's the original paint it is very brake fluid resistant - wipe it off with a damp rag when you're done. If it's not, well... be as careful as you can and keep a wet rag handy to wipe it off as soon as you get any on the paint. Be careful not to get any water inside the MC itself.
 
Thanks guys. It was in pretty poor shape so I gave it a few coats of caliper paint. I'll just try to be as careful as possible. Thanks again!
