I'm sure I'm gonna get flamed for this, but I have rebuild both the clutch
and brake MCs in the car. I happened to know that the bore was fine so I
gutted them with the bodies still installed in the car. In my case I had
rebuilt them already, bench tested them, only to discover upon bleeding,
that the redesigned seals were installed backwards (pilot error). I was
in a hurry to catch a week long tour and a day behind to begin with so I
didn't want to uninstall them. This would not be recommended if the cyls
need to be bored, since that will introduce comtaminents into the fluid.
YMMV with an idea like this.
