    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...

    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.

No, It's not stuck!!! :rolleyes:

Got the braided brake lines today, so thought I'd check out the front master brake cylinder. Whoops! Forgot how it goes back together. The following picture is my best guess. I'm not too sure about the direction of #6 and #7. Does the cup side of both pieces face to the right? (square side of #6 and flat side of #7 to the left?)

I'm hoping someone can bail me out again. I checked old posts with no luck, and my shop manual is not too clear on this assembly.

Thanks beby99. That's a better picture than I've been able to find. It seems to confirm that I have the order pretty much right. I'm still not too sure of which way the seal #7 faces.
 
Yea, can't seem to find a pic of #7....guess you got a 50/50 shot at it. :)
 
Thanks for the help, brakes work great. I do have a very slow drip now from the bottom of the master cylinder. Looks like a designed hole just aft of the brake light switch. Mabe a pressure relief mechanisim. I put a diaper over it (wadded paper paper towel and tape) and will keep my eye on it for now. I'd hate to have to resort to trying to plug it with a tooth pick :)

I'm going to order some new parts for the front and rear master cylinders before too long. I still need to take the Calipers apart also. But I went for a little longer ride today and it was great!
