Got it!
Made a tool out of some small needle nose pliers. Just bent the tips 90* out so when I opened the pliers, the tips grab the piston, and it was in there good.
Hope this helps the other Do-It-Yourselfers out there
I just put it back together with the old seals. I have an event coming up and did not want to wait. I plan to call them and order the kit if the brakes do not feel right but I was mighty surprised at the new-like condition of all the O-Rings and seals on such an old unit.
If the motor and...
Well, it is just an O-Ring Kit and not a re-build kit but it seems like it would be MUCH BETTER if it also included the three seals in the 1.25" part of the MC bore - they appear to be critical seals.
I am just hoping Clark, or anybody, will offer an idea on how to get to that valve seat...
How to do it please??? It is deep in the Power Piston Main Body and it ain't lettin' go.
Do I have to make another tool to extract this thing? The only O-Ring in the MC I can't get to for replacement is this valve seat.
Richard Clark helped put this kit together - I hope he has time to...
I got the O-Ring kit from Kirban's but it is missing the 3 Lip Seals, and the Inner O-Ring for the Piston Guide that I am not too worried about.
I am hoping that I can find the lip seals in a kit from another MC Rebuild kit. The 2 pistons, with numbers E6, HA8; and E14, that hold the seals...
All I could learn is from Pirate Jack - it looks like the same company as MBM Brakes because the items are the same and did not see anything from anybody else. They said one month but that was a month ago and still nothing. They said 2014/2015 and 2015 is nearly gone.
Anybody know anything about these guys? No reply to inquiries about price and availability. It would be great to have a new Powermaster but if it never makes it to market...
Mine has been doing that too. If the pump side had air in the system, it seems like it might make such sounds and it also seems to go away after a few cycles - maybe because the air gets worked out?
I am thinking about just rebuilding the master cylinder and replacing the accumulator.
