Just sunk her in the other day. Muck better than the cheapo I tired first. This one was still cheap though $8 on eBay. Also installed a fuse block. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Skinny side against piston....bigger more flared side facing away from piston. Verified by my own rebuild a few days back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Might hold off for better information on the position of the seal, I've seen two diagrams and it looks opposite on both. If I figure it out definitively I'll let you know Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

To get the piston out unhook the slave line, at this point the slave is loose and you can take it to the bench. Now un screw the blender valve (fluid is gonna go everywhere). At the point get a rag and start pulling up on opposite sides of the piston. It's will come out now as all the negative pressure is released. The part of the seal in your picture up there faces flush against the bottom. I'll attach a skematic that shows you. If the piston is lightly scored you can hit that, and the rod with very high grit sandpaper (400 grit). If the piston is any more scored than that can smooth out just order a new one. They are cheap.

The front could very easily be worn. Look at the tire from the top down, right across the front and it should be evident. Usually it's a sign of forks needing attention. When's the last time thy were serviced Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
