Love ATE's fluid  If you haven't gotten speed bleeders yet, get em! Don't know what I'd do without em! |
Thanks for the tip. I ended up having to remove the master cylinder anyway, because I noticed the o-ring for the remastered cylinder was much looser and out of "spec" than an oem piece, and I ended up mangling it during re-install. I remeasured both and realized the oem was a metric ID of 37.5mm O-ring, but the reman was a standard fit ID of 1.5" with a 1/8" thickness.
....if anyone needs new mc o-rings, I have 49 spares now that I don't know what to do with. Mcmaster-carr only sold it in packs of 50, and nobody local stocked a single one for me to purchase.
I did notice that getting all those air bubbles out took a good while, and I'm glad I did this with the mc off the car now
