I've checked my Master Cylinder and the rear reservoir is full of rusty muddy crap. That's on par with the state of the brake line I had.
My option 1 is rebuilding it
I tried to tear it apart, but there is this snap ring.
Searched on the web, and all I found was "use a snap ring plyers" advices.
Thing is this ring has no holes, no notched, nothing, just a metal ring, and it looks kinda stuck in its groove.
I have a pair of cheap ring plyers, but I don't know how the hell I could use it to remove it. Is a special tools needed here? Any work-around?
My option 2 is modding
Last time I when to the scrapyard I saw ton of those slim aluminum MC with plastic reservoir. Maybe getting a newer MC would be a good idea. Is it?
Apart from the obvious physical differences like the bore size, is there something I should be careful about when finding a replacement MC?
