Sparky1074 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I have just finished re building the the front brake master cylinder on the 1100ex and I am having an absolute nightmare trying to fit the dust seal/cap. I slide it over the plunger but can I get the bugger to locate over the top of the washer and circlip...no chance, it just bunches up. I have already destroyed one trying to push the thick rubber base down using a screw driver. I thought I had cracked it by using a deep socket that fits and pushing down but that doesn't seem to work either. Is there a trick or a special way of doing this, its driving me mad. Thanks again David. Quote Link to comment
Screwriverracing Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Have you tried a bit of washing up liquid on it first, usually helps with this sort of problem. Cheers SRR Quote Link to comment

Sheep Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Have you tried silicone grease/spray?...it will not affect the rubber either 1 Quote Link to comment
