    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Master cylinder

Hey all,

Any idea how to remove the piston from the master cylinder on an '81 450L?
 
Take the lever off and remove the rubber piston cover. They dig around in the rust until you find an internal snap-ring. I think that's how you do it as long as it is the same as my 400.

Thanks, Steve. After trying for an hour to get that thrice-damned snap ring out, I gave up and put the cylinder back on. And snapped the front brake light switch in the process. :roll:
 
Heh, if you were taking it apart it needed to be replaced anyway. Just be sure to use your rear brake with your front. Otherwise you'll get runover.
