Morning all,
I've bought some reconditioned brake cylinders from the club spares scheme (which is fantastic by the way) and wondered if anyone had any tips for rebuilding?
Which way round should the piston seals go in?
Can someone explain how the clicker wheels work? Looks like they work on a thread moving the piston up and down?
Any insight would be great

Re: Front brake rebuild
Thanks Gazza, brakes on and working well although the rear frame cylinder has a leak but I've got some seals on order
Thanks, Liam
Thanks, Liam
Re: Front brake rebuild
If you are rebuilding the brakes it is worth changing the clevis pins, available from club spares and individually marked!
