Master Cylinder Rebuild
I just went through this. The circlip has to go in the innermost groove (deepest in the hole). It is not easy. If you do not compress the piston far enough, the circlip will drop into the larger groove, the one meant for the dust boot. It took me a long time and many tries. There are proper motorcycle master cylinder tools but I modified a pair of needle-nose pliers by cutting two small grooves in the nipper ends to hold the holes in the circlip. Worked pretty well. Good luck and let us know how you did.Comment
