Being as progress ground to a halt on the brakes (Re above) decided to start tacking the wiring ... DOn't you just luv unpicking several previous owners hacks and lashups. Going to remove virtually everything and start again

Best way, really; and probably quicker in the long run too...

Had a few goes at extracting this now, it aint budging, something is going to break, so unless someone can shed any light on this, going to swap the seals out for the new ones and refit tomorrow into the new MC

Give it a go.

I always change the M/C, they are not expensive.

There's a wide rubber o ring that holds the pushrods into the master cylinder. Clamp the pushrod in a vice and prise it apart. Refitting it, rubber fits into the master cyl, bit of lube on the pushrod and force it in......

It just pulls out. There's a rubber o ring on the end of the rod that stops it coming out without using some force.

Got the Res installed, got my lad to give me a hand - gotta keep the younger generation interested eh

Next Job

Back to the boring stuff and more wiring this evening, need to remove the dash and pretty much start again with the wiring, such is the state of the hack or wiring.
Removed the HUGE old radio - Its Massive LOL Will keep this in a safe place, but can't see how to pull the rest of the dash out.

Undone the screws at the top and bottom on dash, and its all loose now ... Any hints/tips for next step welcome ?

Did you get the screws under the speaker grill?

If its anything like the A bodies you have to drop the steering column by a couple of inches to get the cluster out.

Have no idea if thats what you need to do on a Gen 3 though!!

Yes I forget about that, you do have to drop the column...can't remember if there's anything else it's been three years since I took my dash out.

Drop the column a touch as said. Also need to detach the heater controls and plug too. Remove gently leaning it 45 degrees towards you and then you can unplug the various bulbs etc on back of dash. Might also fine the speedo cable holding it. Ensure it has some free play by pulling the outer cable thru the bulkhead a bit.

Cheers Guys
Got today off to progress this, bit of piece and quite while kids at School

First outing of the year, few teething problems still to iron out, but determined to use it each year else the danger of it being a permanent feature in the garage.
