Front Master Cylinder Rebuild Kit
Front Master Cylinder Rebuild Kit: Heres the scoop for those inquiring minds.
Couple weeks back engine light comes on so I run the codes, ends up being brake lights on all the time. Front brake switch is good but the master cylinder shaft is not fully extending. Put a lil machine oil on and problem solved, I thought. Weak spring or just corrosion?
Anyways, time to rebuild a '14 Deluxe master cylinder, I'm like, grrrr?
No problem, head to the HD parts to pick one up. parts guy brings one out and I'm glad I inspect the kit, no friggin spring although the PC screen shows it's included. Parts guy looks again and says they're all like that lets go ask service. Service says springs don't go bad, just stretch it out and put it back in. Okay.
Back towards the parts counter I tell the guy I'm gonna stop by the local indy grab a aftermarket kit, appreciate his time.
It's the third Sat of the month, free hot dogs, music, bike wash etc.. I go grab a hotdog. I'll be damned if the parts guy doesn't track me down and tell me he found one with the spring in it....whoa! I like that guy.
So, for those of you looking for that rebuild kit, don't expect a spring in it any longer.
