I'm taking apart my master cylinders for what I hope is just a clean & inspect. If all looks good, will I be ok to re-use, or should I plan on replacement piston & cup sets?

+1 with Cowboy. I just did a caliper/MC rebuild and gouged the piston in the caliper and the piston in the MC was totally nasty!
Here's some pics to look at...I have other pics in there but disregard those.

You'll feel much better knowing you replaced all the internal moving parts. I replaced the original front brake line with a braided line and the stopping power has improved dramatically!
Good luck!

It wouldn't bother me to reuse the parts if they look good. Can't fault replacing them either. If money's tight, reuse. Don't attempt to reuse your old brake lines though.Ed
To measure is to know.

I have been reusing them forever, if they are not damaged. Never had a problem from it. At least you know they are the right parts, and you know you won't have to wait for them.Originally posted by Nessism View Post

Snap Ring Pliers
Yep, that's the tool you'll need to remove the piston in the MC. Also, if the dust cover isn't pliable and doesn't seat properly, I'd replace it too.Originally posted by jsandidge View Post
