Master Cylinder Rebuild, Worth it??

Franks the Bull · 05-16-2008, 04:27 PM

Is it worth it to rebuild a master cylinder for the front brake (97 Heritage) or just spend the $120 and get a new one?? I figure the HD thats on there worked for 11 years, after market Companies probalby won't even be in busines in 5. So I'm stayin with HD. Just want to see if anyone rebuilt one, and did it hold up, or leak like a siv??

Rebuilt the master, new pads, back blead it upto the master from the caliper bleader and all is good. $20 vs $120. Good stuff.
