have a sportsman 500 6x6 2002 the cover on the brake resivor seeps brake fluid not major but enough to make the paint peel on the cover-resivor it self.any solutions would appreciate!have a 800 sportsman also, trying to solve problem before it "may" happen to that brake resivor![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

some of the early wilwood cylinders had leak problems. you may try a new cover, if so make sure to line up the gasket with the hole in the body of the cylinder and dont overtighten, it will warp the cover and cause to leak. later models like your 800 have fewer problems.

 

I have that same problem on my sportsman. I thought it was only me but i guess not. I have no solution for it yet cept for keep wiping it off.

 

take the cap off and look at the diapragm. there's a small tip that sticks down, make sure its not torn here. also, look at the cap, does it look warped slightly? replace the cap and when you put it on hold the center down tight and don't over tighten the screws. ive had pretty good luck replacing just the cap assembly, have had a couple that needed the whole cylinder to fix.

 

Mine also is doing it. For a long time now,checked on a seal but it comes with the cover and cost a lot $. The dealer said to put a little grease around the seal, I havent done it doesnt sound good with brake fluid, any 1 else tried it.

 

cap assembly kit pn 2201834 or 2202725 $29.99

 

thanx for all the input i am going to replace the cover and seal see what happens was going to try that anyway just needed a second opinion and will hold down center of cover and tighten once again thanx to everyone who replied[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

My '01 SP 400 did the same thing I messed with the cap and seal, made sure fluid level was good and put the same cap and seal back on. That seemed to solve the problem. I guess it wasn't sealed properly or something. Whe I initialy looked at it the local dealer said the cap and was $40.00. He also told me to take it off and see if the seal was not in properly so that is what I did. BART
