Simultaneously posted in Tech, but thought there might be few gurus in here that might help.
Hey, hope somebody can help me out. My rear brakes started pouring fluid out, and had the rear cylinder sitting there in pieces. Got everything apart and buttoned back up, and it seems the cylinder is loose and has some play. I'm guessing that since it is only that stupid clip that holds it in place, that maybe the backing plate has elongated in the "key" that it slides into. Anybody have any bright ideas, seen this happen, etc...? I'm thinking that if this is in fact that case, that I may have to get a new backng plate or weld the hole or something. Any perspective will be appreciated, because in the backyard mechanic experiance of me, brother, and dear old dad, none of us have seen this before.
