    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.

dumb question...

my rear master cylinder was seized so i had to drill out the aluminium sliding plug and i used an air compressor to remove the seal and spring... thereby shooting them across the room. now trying to re install, and all the paperwork and pictures i can find arent detailed enough to show me the orientation of the springs and seals and the order in which they are installed above the aluminum plug.

anybody remember and want to shed some light.

thanks a ton

Click to expand...

Next time try putting a grease nipple in and pumping the piston out with grease. Clean up isn't as bad as launching springs around the shop. Unnecessary drilling makes me nervous, so I avoid it. Hopefully it all goes back together well.
 
thanks a bunch for the quick reply and warm welcome.

problem solved!

you people rock!

just shot a quick snap to triple check->
