200x brake question

[84honda200s]

ok guys i have actually 2 questions about the brakes.

fist one: how do you take the front master cylinder all apart ? i have the cup off i just can get all the guts out.

second: how do i get the rear master apart ? i got the circlip off and the rod thing off but i cant get the guts out.

[84honda200s]

lol tryd that too man. i used my big framing hammer. im starting to get pretty mad at this thing.

[RedRider_AK]

trash it and get a new old one?

[84honda200s]

i may if i cant get this thing apart.

[RedRider_AK]

Well, since you can't get it apart, I would think there's something wrong with it. Glad to see you're making progress on the auto-x though! Right on my brother!

On the front master cyl. Did you take out the snap ring that holds the piston and sping inside the master cylinder ? Once you removed that snap ring all you will need is some compressed air. But if that is still in there you will be smashing your brain in for nothing.

[84honda200s]

i took one snap ring off of it. is it all there is ? or is there 2 ?

[RedRider_AK]

There's only one, so you did it fine.

[84honda200s]

cool im thinking of getting a small wire brush for my dremal and cleaning it out and hope for the best.

[edog]

This will do it,,,You will need a new piston after.


Drill a hole in the center and thread a self taping bolt in there.Then pull like holly hell.

[84honda200s]

lol dam dog i didnt even think of that. thanks a ton. but i better se if its still avalible first.

Edog is right. I've always heard to blow the pistons out with compressed air. I've rebuilt 3 of them now and tried everything you have (soaking). Drill as close to center of the piston as you can get. It's not too hard to find center because the piston is concave in shape. I usually tap a 1/4 - 20 hole and then use a slide hammer to pull the piston. Rebuild kits are still available. I buy my rebuild kits from Dennis Kirk. Last one was $32. Make sure you clean the inside of the cylinder well. With a piston seized that bad, there will be a noticable ring in that area of the cylinder. You'll be fine doing it the way Edog mentioned. Worst case scenario, if thet doesn't work, drill a hole in the backside of the cylinder and tap using pipe threads and drive that puppy out. Let us know how it works out for you.
