Removing Rear Master Cylinder connector

Post by Noel »

Hi guys,

I've noticed that my rear pads are rubbing, so I've decided to clean out the relief port on the master cylinder. However I'm having trouble removing the connector (where the feed from the resevoir fits over) from the master cylinder. I have removed the circlip, but cant remove the connector it self. I'm scared if I pull it to hard it will break. Any tips?

Thanks! :grin:

I actually came right with the connector. No, I am going to try get a set tomorrow, I heard it could be another reason for the pads sticking.

most of the time, the pin is worn out slightly (can't see it) and the pads will wear out a lot faster.
I burnt a new set in less than 10-15 miles because of that. I inspected it several times and it looked good (even sanded it to make it perfectly smooth) but in the end, a new pin solved my problem.
