Surprised any oem or aftermarket dealer sells rebuild kits for master cylinders.
Thanks, good info!

https://v4dreams.com/shop-blog.html just rebuilt a clutch slave cylinder and has some procedural info on his site.

Unfortunately, I was unable to get the piston out of mine last night - and also this morning when I tried to "pump" it out with a grease gun. This after a long soak last night and also application of Kroil.

I gave up and ordered a new used one from an eBay seller, so that should arrive next week. Hopefully I can continue the rebuild using that unit.

This brake fluid when it absorbs water can really cause corrosion. It's remarkable - and not in a good way....
