I finally got around to replacing the MC today (in the wind and cold and rain) and some observations. I mentioned before that at one point the coach did not want to stop. the pedal traveled to the floor and I had to throw it in park (to my displeasure). It was only going about 5 mph but I still hate doing that.

so taking the old one off I saw that there was a leak in the seal at the piston. I cleaned and installed the new one. As I was moving about I kicked the old MC over and the top came off. A sea of rusty brake fluid and really black fluid (looked like oil) spilled onto the street.

I bought a hand held vacuum bleeder from HF and soon enough Ill have the pleasure of doing all six brakes!!
