Dodgeb4ya Posted January 15, 2010 Report Posted January 15, 2010 There is an easier way to quickly knock those pesky little horse shoe "C" clips off in one quick swoop.....Get the miller tool or snap on tool .....or Get a 13/16" open end wrench, and a hammer-one wack they are off! No damage either! Just use the wrench- works every time and no special tool required. Bob Quote
HanksB3B Posted January 15, 2010 Report Posted January 15, 2010 I'll be doing that tomorrow. On my R.R one came off easy and I fought with the other one for at least 15 minutes. Replaced the Master cylinder and R.R last week and decided to do L.R, R.F and L.F. Was quoted $40 each for rebuild and $60 ea. if they needed to be sleeved. Roberts Motor Parts has the Master Cylinder for $129, the rears cylinders for $24 ea (x4) and the fronts for $45. Total was just over $300. Everything so far has been a perfect fit so far. Hank Quote
rcumba11 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Posted February 3, 2010 DodgeB4u, Thanks for the info on the 13/16 " wrench. This is a good find. I have just bought a '48 Desoto Custom, although the brakes look very good, the hoses are not in good shape, so I will be replacing them and am looking for a dual Master Cylinder. Any suggestions? Thx, Roger Quote
