anyone know how to get it out? i pulled and pulled and cant get it out.

 

i dont understand why this thig wont come off. i pull on it with plyers while scratching it a lil bit and and turn it and push it and nothing. i think its go sumtin to do with the spring inside but am stumped

 

Take it off the bars. Put it in a vise and get a long skinny punch. Tap it out through the outlet end(through the washer on the end of the spring) Try to stay centered.

 

You can remove the piston assy as 94 Harley suggested,but if inside of master cylinder bore is corroded or you can hone out and still pretty rough,a new kit may not help. check that you can clean up before you purchase kit(if you havent already) plus the inner cup seal with the new kit is easily damaged trying to install without the piston tool which is a tapered cylinder that you install the assy in first and then push in master cylinder bore. Plus the outer seal must be installed properly or will leak air. I'm NOT trying to be negative,ONLY sharing my experience with members! I'm batting about 50-50 on piston kits,depending on shape of the master cylinder. The other 50 percent I update the master cylinder to the later style which you would like 100 times better,BUT not cheap! Hope you repair yours, just take your time. Also on priming the master cylinder up you can do it off machine by using your thumb to partially block hole end while pumping lever OR on machine by clamping down on hose a little down from master cylinder which allows priming easier. Then bleed all brake fittings,starting at rear caliper first,then the fronts to remove all air. Good luck OPT

 

Thanks. Once again you came through in the clutch haha. i didnt buy a whole rebuild kit because i guess they dont make them for the older models but i did buy two parts to put in. a rubber o ring and a thing that looks like an o ring with a metal ring around it. Will try tomorow and report back. Thanks a million guys
