Brake Master Cylinder

[Bart]

Anyone else having problems with the brake cylinders? I have one that seems to have lost its ability to spring back thus allowing a sticky brake.

Have you checked for pad wear? The more the cylinder is protruding the less likely it will spring back in my opinion. Sorry, missed the master part in the heading.

Castle nut

Loosen the castle nut on both ends of the brake cylinder one notch before
you spend any money on the problem.
I am about half way down on mine but no problems so far.

Bart, No problem so far at 85 hrs.

I removed the individual bolts on either side and replaced them with one continuous through bolt. What a difference.

What brake fluid are you using?
