Technical wheel cylinder HELP

[westman]

this weekend i was going to attempt to change wheel cylinder, wondering if anyone had any tips or advice for me. thanks

Yup, get a length of brake pipe made up from the flexi to the cylinder. Its bound to snap at the cylinder.

Spend the next two days liberally spraying the cylinder bolts with penetrating fluid, also the connection to the flexi.

Cheers

All that, plus:

use "proper" 6 sided brake spanners where possible
use a clamp on the flexi so you don't have to spend a couple of hours bleeding it.
