cleaning master cylinder reservoir ?
heres the problem , my master has 138,000 on it and its shot . i got a reman and has no res. i still have the old 1, but it was full of contaminated brake fliud and left a nasty residue . i was able to get the fill side clean by rubing my finger around in it, but the back half is not reachable. ive tryed soap/water , parts cleaner, and mineral spirits ......... nothing gets it clean . ANY IDEAS ? i would hate to pay $70 for a small piece of formed plastic =(

Hmm,
Use a bottle brush or rinse and learn to live with it.

Im a little confused here as to what exactly was rude as well.
You might want to try filling the res up with acetone and letting it sit overnoght, however, I'm not sure exactly how the reservoir will react with the acetone. I would try rubbing a little on the outside in an inconspicuous spot, and see if the material reacts, other than that, I think you are really just better off buying a new reservoir. |
