Default Re: 1940 Front Wheel Cylinders

Guys ....I clean everything up and there is no pitting at all. The plungers were coated with what looked like shellac ! I clean them up with my brush wheel and put back into the cylinder and they now fit and move just fine. I think things were just gummed up after sitting all those years. I'm getting the drum turned and will have it this week and will put everything back together by the weekend I hope to see how things go. I bought "speed bleeders" and will try them out too.

If this doesn't work I will buy new cylinders.

I have the tool to remove the rear hubs as I heard that can be a bitch of a job.

Thx for the help.

Mike
