I have just finished overhauling the brake and clutch master cylinders and
calipers and clutch slave. I find the following problems:
Clutch master cylinder
The valve on the outboard end of the plunger keeps coming off. After a few
strokes, it stops pumping. I took it out of the car again and opened it up
and there is the rubber valve at the bottom of the chamber. The brake master
has a similar configuration but I've had no problem with that.
Brake caliper
The reason the bleed screw on the right caliper keeps leaking is that the
hole is stripped. I suppose I could put a heli-coil in the hole. I have
never used one before. Is that feasible? I don't want to have to buy a new
caliper.
Your help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated,
