I have recently torn down a friends master cylinder to find it not damaged, but full of foreign material in the high pressure seals.
Because I am working to make a 95 Accord safe to drive again, I was watching YouTubes about front bearings. (The bearing has failed and so damaged one brake.)
In the section I was watching, the technician demonstrated that he always clamps off the line to the caliper and vents the fluid out the bleeder. As Greg's coach recently had front brake work and then the master cylinder failed (I mean failed big time - peddle to the floor, but no fluid lost!) I am willing to accept this as a cause.
When I come up for air, I plan to rebuild the good casting and put it on the shelf.
