Hi folks:


I got my rear brakes adjusted, and still have a lot of excess brake travel. One pump of the pedal, and all is fine, but in an emergency I don't know if I could lock up the wheels or not.  Someone else mentioned this was related to the master cylinder, so... is there a how-to link somewhere, or where can I get additional info on how to install the MC. I will of course go through the Bentley, but they assume a certain amount of mechanical experience, and I've never replaced a master cylinder before.


Second, I would like to build one of the pressurized brake bleeders that were mentioned on this list. Does anyone know what size MC reservoir cap I need? Is this a stock item that can be picked up at my FLAPS or where do I find one?


Thx,


Troy
