VASELINE..... Gonna pin this at the top before anyone gets in too much of a flap over Vaseline... Have no fear of Vaseline and o-rings, boots or gators. O-rings are made out of many different materials. I would suggest that those o-rings which are made to work in the automotive realm are made to be resistant to things such as oil, gasoline, and other petroleum products. This would include Vaseline. While Vaseline and other petroleum products may degrade "real rubber" (actually made from the rubber tree), current o-rings technology does not use natural rubber. There are rubber seals in your Petrol Tap.. Filler Cap.. and a rubber hose delivers the Gasoline to your Carburetor.. ..which also has a Rubber Diaphragm, and a Plastic air box...... ...AND NONE OF IT DISSOLVES...!

Funny stuff...

Out of the night Came a terrible scream "WHO PUT THE SAND IN THE VASELINE?!"

[@JH09SUMIT]

Thank you so much. I was misinformed from numerous sources

[@chaos.corner]

One other thing I would say is be wary about using brake fluid for lubricating the cylinder. I did it for a car slave cylinder I was working on once and I had to redo it again a year later. There's proper grease for it. Probably less of an issue due to location and mounting here but worth considering.

[@RoyZ84]

Dang! You make this video very therapeutic Del! I love it!

Recon you're right Shane, its a mess aye... Thanks for watching buddy.

[@sohailawan3572]

Great

[@MVW54]

Very important to mention… When the piston is in the rest position, the brake fluid will be balanced via The compensation hole. This compensation hole is very small, clean this compensation hole with a very thin wire of copper, if it would clog… you are guaranteed a dragging caliper, this has already happened to me twice!!! with the Honda CBX 1000. Stay Safe.

[@patsonabike]

Thank you very much. It did look like a fairly easy job, or maybe because you make most things look easy. :) Looking at it though, I'm dreading what I will find when I open up mine. 20 years old and I've ridden it all winter. Ahwell. Also, thank you for explaining about using Vaseline instead of red grease. It's been a few years since I played around with petroleum jelly. :) Btw, any tips how to keep that stupid spring for the brake light working smoothly, along with the brake foot lever pivot? The spring is covered by the bracket near the foot peg, it gunks up, it's really hard to reach with fingers to give it a clean and a grease and I've actually lost my back brakes for a day on my old bike because the brake lever wasn't moving anymore because of all the grit and gunk. I hope all is well with you and Penny. Best wishes to you both and hoping for some sunshine for your weekend. :).

[@williamfoster4268]

Hey, so I rebuilt my rear master on my bandit gsf600s watching your video and using an All Balls Racing kit. The issue I am having is the caliper pistons will push out, clamp onto the disk and then refuse to retract like normal. The brake pedal height is adjusted per the FSM but in order to reach that height I had to adjust the nuts to the end of the threaded rod. I have taken apart the caliper and the master twice now to check my work and everything appears to be correct. The brake line is also new, made by Galfer USA. Any ideas?

[@Altie8]

[@paulg9314]

Great video Del. I noticed a couple of very corroded fasteners that needed taming before you got to the business at hand. We've all had jobs where one friggin' frozen fastener costs more in time and effort and frustration than the problem that originally needed fixing. Can I suggest a "Simple Skill" session on stuck screws and bolts? How to get past them and how to avoid them next time. I will watch it, guaranteed.

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Paul.. good to hear from you mate, and thanks for the nudge.. that would be a good video for sure, there are a range of techniques to get past challenging fasteners, and also how to rescue things when they snap off or wring out.. ..I still have lots to do, and plenty of fasteners that will lend themselves well for a video like that... so watch this space.. ill get to it when i get time buddy.

I learnt the hard way last week that petroleum based products don’t like brake seal’s . I thought the same that they would be resistant to petrol etc but mine swelled in the front brake master cylinder and the spring wouldn’t return the lever. I ended up having to replace all the seal’s. Enjoy your Chanel though 👍🏻

Good video 👍🏻 I did the same job on my 83 Kawasaki z750 ltd a few weeks ago, it was in a similar state but all the fluid had run out of it also, I'm surprised my back brake worked the last time I rode it 😂😂

[@Moonfleet41]

Blimey, sounds like you just caught it in time aye mate... lucky escape..

[@ian_morg]

@@Moonfleet41 yep, all sorted now, bloody thing wouldn't pass fluid to the caliper after, thought I'd checked everything, took the banjo off, put my finger over the hole and kept pumping and then boom, out came the fluid, seems the small hole the fluid came out of was blocked with crud. Every day's a school day 😎👍🏻

[@elbondsouza5627]

Hey. Great video.. I have a Ninja and the piston in the master cylinder does not retract back. I've tried changing the brake fluid but nothing happens. The piston when applied pressure moves inside the cylinder but does not retract when pressure is removed. What could be the reason for this? Please help🥺

[@EVil-ob8in]

The rear wheel on my R6 won’t spin more than half a turn after the rear brake is applied following a rear wheel fitting or brake pad clean up etc suggesting the caliper piston doesn’t retract. Do you think a caliper seal replacement will sort it or is it more likely the master cylinder that need a overhaul ?

[@Moonfleet41]

Do the caliper first, the seals are cheap, it's usually that, that's where all the grime and dust is that will jam it up... and if it still jams up.. then have a look at the master..

[@keithert]

This looks similar to my V-Stroms rear master cylinder. Except that mine has a line in on the top from the ABS pump. Would having abs make the rebuild job much different?

[@Moonfleet41]

No, not the re-build itself of the cylinder, but obviously re-bleeding the system is a little more involved as am sure you know.

[@Dude_Virus]

That's one strange looking master cylinder..

[@christophershirley1303]

[@williampritchard2584]

Orientation of seals!!!!!

[@viduranisal]

Great video, very helpful info!! I have a Suzuki GSF250 and it has pretty much the same rear brake master. It has been sitting for a while and the circlip is completely rusted + sort of welded onto the ram plate (?) it's resting on. The circlip ears were horribly weak and broke off immediately like old flaky rust, because the seals on the plunger had leaked and allowed brake fluid to seep down soaking everything. Please help! Any suggestions on getting the circlip/snap ring off without damaging the cylinder body would be hugely appreciated! We don't have replacement parts *at all* for Japanese Suzuki motorcycles where I live and had to even get the rebuild kit shipped from China. PS - I believe that plunger is a 12.7 mm / 0.5" by the look of it?

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi there Nisal, if the circlip ears have broken off, then there is no easy fix... the best you can do is try to lever out the remains with a thin tiny screwdriver, it won't be easy, but a little penetrating fluid and warm it up and you may make it move... but if all else fails, perhaps you could get a second hand master cylinder from another bike? Do you have people selling second hand spares there? That would be the only option if it truly won't come out... it may help if you push down the plunger to hold the weight off the circlip and a little patience, you may prise it out...

[@viduranisal]

@@Moonfleet41 @Delboy's Garage Hi Del, thank you so much for the quick response!! Guess it's just a matter of luck to see if I can get this off then; heating it up didn't occur to me but will definitely try that, thanks again! The circlip is literally sort of welded together with the lower metal plate it sits on with rust itself and I was afraid to clamp it down in a vice and try pulling out, in case the groove got damaged. Any progress I've made so far has been with a small flathead screwdriver as you suggested but there's very little space to work with, making it all the more difficult. Yes we do have lots of parts for JP Honda bikes but only for those, no Suzuki, Yamaha and literally zero Kawasaki parts. I've a broken indicator (shared with Yamaha Zeal 250 if I'm not mistaken) which I've been hunting for months, no option to bring down either due to the pandemic situation. I had a look at some Honda master cylinders (need to buy the whole thing, with reservoir and all) but all of them are differently sized, shapes and lengths, especially the screw holes being out of line with the GSF 250 holder.

[@viduranisal]

@@Moonfleet41 Hi Del, after trying out various methods over the past few weeks without any luck, I had almost given up on the cylinder and was about to replace it with replica Chinese cylinder for Honda's by drilling out correct spacing. But we had to visit a machine shop to get some parts for a friend and I took the cylinder just in case and asked them to somehow disassemble it whichever way possible, that I didn't really mind even if the whole thing breaks in the process because I had no other option. I described to them what you followed, I'm not sure *how* they did it, but they had removed all the rusted out bits with minimal damage to the aluminium cylinder body and disassembled within 15 minutes!! They don't work on brakes at all, mostly engine boring, sleeving and valve grinding but such a relief I can get rear brakes working again. Thank you so much for the very helpful and informative videos!

[@Moonfleet41]

@@viduranisal Wow that's good news Nisal, glad they've got it fixed for you, I guess they have the equipment and experience to find a solution! Glad you can get your brakes back working again, nowt like having the original parts in order instead of Chinese replacements!

Hi after some advice if you can please Iv rebuilt the master cylinder on my bandit 1200 and when bleeding it up the fluid comes threw but brake doesn't engage have I done something wrong? Or am I missing something eles? Cheers

[@Moonfleet41]

You most probably have a big gulp of air in the system, trapped somewhere, and it squeezes back and forth, refusing to budge, pretty common on the rear as the hoses are horizontal and the air can't naturally drift upwards... try taking a large syringe and injecting brake fluid backwards in through the caliper bleed nipple (empty the reservoir first), and with gentle pressure, you'll see the fluid eventually fill up the reservoir and that'll give you a solid bleed... yours is a common issue with rears and this is a guaranteed fix every time! Here's what you need: www.spanner-monkey.co.uk/oil-and-brake-fluid-inspection-syringe-200ml-120826?search=brake%20syringe&description=true

[@c4yourself319]

Hey Del! My spring doesn't come out like yours does in the video. It's not worn and everything was clean before I started putting it back together. Now the spring with the rubber part is stuck in the cylinder and doesn't want to come out. What do I do? Thank you!

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi there.. you could hook it out with a curled piece of wire or a seal pick if you have one.. but you may damage the rubber cup... so if it was all clean before, and functions ok now, then re-assembly everything and test it to see if it works ok on the bike.. if not, you'll have to hook it out and maybe risk damaging it. !

Great work bro, I hope that you tell as the cost at the end of this build 👍

[@Moonfleet41]

Not really keeping a tally on this one mate.. TBH it scares me when i work out what they cost.so far i think the parts bill alone is just over a grand.. the 12 rebuild kits for the front calipers were £255.!!!

[@daverowland4311]

Are you going to use dot 5 fluid when you fill it up?

[@Moonfleet41]

I don't see any reason not to Dave, the whole system will be dry apart from the front hoses...so yeah, it's a thought.

[@jimbergen5232]

You might use it all the time, but " Imperial " ( size ) is an 0lde terminology, we just say "Standard" ( * edit , I mean, we used to say it many years ago ) - as always really do appreciate your videos.

[@ollieb9875]

Be a bit careful with weights and measures, for example the American standard gallon is about 17% smaller than the UK Imperial gallon. Something like 3.7 litres Vs 4.5. So the systems aren't equivalent in *all* cases 🙃😁

[@M1K3R0LPH]

Another great vid and really informative Del! Quick question on using the wire wheel... When cleaning up metal is there a rule for knowing what will rust and what won't? Thanks for all the vids!

[@Moonfleet41]

Hi Mike, Rust is caused by the Iron content in the metal oxidizing...so for metal to rust, it must contain iron, and a good quick check is to lay a magnet on it.. if the metal is magnetic then generally speaking it will rust if not protected.. Some stainless steel is mildly magnetic, but it does resist corrosion quite well...

Hi there Ragz... You Don't need engine flush in a 3 year old Japanese bike mate... just warm up the engine, drain the old oil for a hour to get as much out as possible, change the filer and refill with new oil....that will be fine mate.. Good luck with it.

[@lambo2817]

Hi mate silly question time, when you wire wheel and clean up the bits do you need to coat/paint them to protect the metal?

[@Moonfleet41]

Yeah, strictly speaking you do.. but painting bolt heads is a waste of time, as soon as you put a tool on them it will ruin the paint.. stainless steel fasteners is the true remedy.. but a smear of grease over them will keep it at bay.
