That retaining clip is a son of bitch to get in and seat properly. You made it look easy without explaining much on how to get it in.

Yes, sorry, I lost some footage of a few steps near the end and had to just splice is some footage of me disassembling the perch and ran it backwards. Better explanation of that part probably was just overlooked on my part. The clip is a huge pain. One comment on here recommends using a socket to set it in, I think that is a great idea!

[@jacquesnel8384]

I did use a socket but it seems as if that clip deteriorates very quickly if you don’t get it seated properly with your first attempt.

@@jacquesnel8384 yeah, now that you mention it, I remember it being very flimsy. I remember using a pick and small flat screw driver and just taking my time working it around.

Man a socket is what I use to put the retaining clip in.. just easier for me that way

[@bottomupbuilds]

Great idea, I'll try that next time, those things are always a pain!

[@benwarren500]

Did the kit come with the o rings that go on either side of the brake line?

[@bottomupbuilds]

Yes, yes it did! I accidently deleted some footage and likely that part was part that I lost

[@Ttaylor2308]

Can you give me the part numbers or the link to them ?

[@bottomupbuilds]

@@Ttaylor2308 The ALL BALLS brand kits I used for the master cylinder is 18-1104 and for the caliper is 18-3287. See the video introduction and you can see the part number clearly on the packages, thanks!
