    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.

If the picture comes up I got from previous post then it will be easier to see. The problem is how do you get the rubber cap that goes in after the spring and before the plunger back into the master cylinder. I have tried longer to do that then It has taken me to remove and clean the whole thing. I just can not seem to get it in there. any tricks or help would be appreciated. thanks

yes that it took me awhile to find that pic to post it, it seems you found it first. but yes the second rubber piece I cant get it into the cylinder. does it go over spring and then inert or does it go over plunger. I keep trying over spring and it wont go. the spring drops into cylinder and the rubber plug thingy goes sideways every da_n time

The photos show the proper order and part orientation. Try a little brake fluid on the cup before you insert it.

According to the parts fiche, you've got the spring reversed. The rubber end goes into the flared end of the rubber cup, then everything goes into the bore just as you have it lined up.

put this together as Nessism suggest and then put it back on bike and the unit will go in but it does not extend back out. It is like there is something missing. It is like the spring does not extend after compressed. I can take the brake hose off and push it back down but that pretty much does nothing. then next time compressed it just retracts and wont extend again. I can get any fluid to flow through the cylinder at all. I cleaned out all passages( small one and tiny one from the resevoir supply.
