Bendix master cylinder dismantling
Hi,
can anyone help with how to get the second piston out of the master cylinder. I have a new set of seals to go in but I'm struggling to get it to
move. I've tried a bit of compressed air without success.
Thanks
Neil

Long time since I've done one but... Some have a retaining pin inserted under the resevoir rubbers (not sure it's Bendix)that prevent the
second piston coming out. Otherwise banging it down hard onto something solid like a vice (put a piece of ally down to prevent burring) sometimes
helps. Or try a bit more air. If you go the air route, make sure you have a rag over the end to catch the flying piston.
Edit. ...and be carefull that the piston doesn't fly out when you pull the pin. The wife won'tbe happy if you get fluid on the carpet!

Absolutely spot on.
Took off the reservoir, there was the little pin, pulled it out and the piston shot across the room powered by the spring and landed on the carpet
(wife's out so I was fiddling with it while watching the news).
Thanks for your help
