Oil leak on the left side, and the pads are soaked.
We really need to replace these. Since it’s a hassle, I won’t refinish the surface.
It’s covered in oil, so I’ll have to remove it…
Should I remove it?
Hmm… it’s really stuck.
This time it’s different, but if you use the pads right down to the limit, this can happen too, so be careful.
Cylinder interior OK
Snap!
And I ended up having to install a helicoil…
Lucky I got it in on the first try.
Then when I tried to bleed the air further, the nipple on the right side that I hadn’t removed was clogged, so I had to remove that too.
By the way, after finding the center, it turns out two spacers with T=4 mm fit in there.
And since I didn’t have the material, I had to machine it from a 35 mm diameter rod… I’ll settle for 17!
That was quite an evening…
Time to get back to work.
