    Anyone ever rebuild a clutch master?

    Im looking at some of the new masters out there and Im thinking that rebuilding the OEM one is a better move than buying some second rate one

    If the bore is not damaged you can just disassemble and replace all the seals. The bore needs to be absolutely perfect though, even the tiniest of rust/scratch marks in my opinion it goes in the bin.

    I bought a brand new german brand clutch master for $120 AUD including the little plastic doovey and new pipe from the resevoir to the master. I think it would be hard to rebuild it for cheaper when you take into account what your time is worth. Unsure how much a seal cut costs (if you can even buy one).

      Rebuild is easy, should take less than an hour. If the bore isn't perfect, you can hone it to clean it up.
