Re: Digest Number 93

[isettakurt]

Please tell me more about these "very small holes" in the master cylinder causing the brakes to drag.
After I completely disconnected the rear brakes due to their dragging, now the front brakes are starting to do the same thing, a
year later.

Tiny holes are under the check valves & springs, they are wire gauge
drill size #really tiny or aprox #40. If you try to clear them with
master assembled you will poke into the seal.

this is what happed every time the brakes were used the front brakes got draging more and more untill the brakes locked up he by-pass booster and still did it.he could open front bleeder screws and it would be ok untill he used brakes. also believe that he taken out the check valves under the brake line fitting of master cyl and still would drag and then lockup.there is four bores on top of master cyl two for brake lines,it has a small hole maybe #40 brill bit, then there is the two lines that feed fluid too master cyl under these fittings there is two holes maybe #40 and a much smaller hole a number 79 brill bit will clean these out or chemical clean master cyl and shine flash lite in piston bore too see if clean out.i ----- Original Message -----
