| I’ve got brake fluid leaking where the lever contacts the master cylinder so I’m thinking that I need to replace the master cylinder piston. The service manual says that I’ll need to buy a pair of OEM snap ring pliers from Honda in order to remove the snap ring. Would using a pair of snap ring pliers from say Harbor Freight work just as well? Also, am I right that I need to replace the master cylinder piston?

I suggest you have someone who owns a pair of snap ring pliers do this job for you, These are your brakes, Your life could depend on them. Happy motoring Lloyd 193. |
