Master Cyl. question
I'm working on my brakes, I need to bleed air out of the master. It was kinda cruddy inside, so I decided to remove and clean out the resevoirs. What I discovered was (according to the Haynes manual) is that the "stop screw" is missing from the front resevoir. Do I need that screw? If so, can I replace w/ any screw of the same pitch, or should I buy a new master? Thanks all....

Re: Master Cyl. question
exactly what S10 said unless you are capable of rebuilding your own which is most cases is only a buck or two cheaper than buying a remanufactured unit.. they sell the masters for ours for like $20 at most chain auto part stores when they are on sale

Re: Master Cyl. question
Yeah...you guys are right. I guess I gotta stop being so frugal. Why mess around w/ this unit when as long as it's off, replace it. Thanks.........

Re: Master Cyl. question
I've had really bad luck with rebuilt masters in the past (Changing five and still not getting a good one.) I recommend getting a new one.

Re: Master Cyl. question
Cardone is a good rebuild company. I used to work for an auto parts distributor and Cardone had very few returns out of hundreds shipped. I can’t say about other companies, I just don’t know. I have a Cardone Master on mine and have for over a year with no problems. Besides the difference is like $40 to $140.
