Z1 master cylinder rebore

#1 PostAuthor: wilsonsjw11 » Sat Nov 05, 2022 7:08 am

Can anyone recommend someone who could remove a seized piston in a Z1 master cylinder and rebore and hone it for 5/8.
Regards
Steve

I had this issue with the GPz11. Tried everything, or so I thought. Al advised me to link it to another master cylinder (I used the rear one) and use that one to free up the seized one. Soaked in brake fluid, worked a treat.

Great to read about someone having good customer service and doing a job properly it seems to be increasingly rare these days in all fields :shock: :D
