So I got my 1974 CB360G running over the past few weeks. When i went to take it out of the driveway, the front brake locked up. Steve helped me take apart the caliper carry arm, cleaned it up and reinstalled it, but that wasn’t the issue apparently. The piston was stuck, so i flushed it out with the master cylinder.
Since the master cylinder was in bad shape, Steve had me get a new one from ebay. Here is the link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/262581136299
I bought new steel lines from common motor to go with the new master cylinder. I got them all today, but when i went to put them on the new master cylinder, the bolt for it appears to be slightly too small. I can’t use the original banjo bolts, because they are too big. So i used the bolt and washers that came with it, and tried to flush the air out of the system. However, it leaks from the master cylinder because the bolt is too small. What do i do? Do i have to re-thread the master to fit the original sized banjo bolts? Do i need another new master cylinder?
Furthermore, when i went to put the piston back in the caliper after cleaning it all up, it got stuck and i cannot get it back out. My plan was to flush it out with fluid again, but as you can see that’s not going to happen.
