    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.

stuck brake piston

I've got a stuck Piston in the rear master cylinder it is soaking in "master blaster" now. we've tried putting air behind it but no luck....any suggestions
 
1). Buy a new master cylinder.
2). take it to a brake repair specialist who can remove the stuck piece and then sleeve it for you so it can be re-used.
3). track down another used master cylinder and put a kit through it.
Those are about all the options I can think of but if that piston is stuck so solid that compressed air wont move it then number two is probably your best and cheapest,particularly if you hace them put in a stainless steel sleeve as it will never need to be rebuilt again.

Re-bleed your system and push it out with the hydraulic pressure (it has much more force than pneumatic pressure).
 
ALRIGHT!! the "master blaster" stuff works! I put a little air behind it shot out of there like a cannon ball :D
