Have to take a break between doing brakes on each side. 800 mg Ibuprofen FTW!
Pedal has gotten kinda crappy for a few weeks. Took for-freaking-ever to get the correct wheel cylinders.
Anywho, seeing the condition of the old ones, along with them leaking, tells me the initial diagnosis was correct šŸ˜œ

If you havenā€™t already, get a master cyl to go with, itā€™s probably close behind, and with parts procurement the way itā€™s been recently, youā€™ll need the time to get it. One of the major after market parts suppliers was hacked so bad 2 weeks ago they JUST came back up yesterday and have to limit parts orders to catch up. Itā€™s causing an issue for an already strained system (OEMs canā€™t keep up either)

Thanks man.
Master was the first thing I replaced back on Valentine's Day when the timing belt snapped.
I've been dealing with getting the correct wheel cylinders ever since!

My local Lift One store was unable to access any parts catalogs for a couple weeks. I used the power of Irate4x4 to get the right cylinders this time.
 
All that rain got the creek that is normally 6" deep up to about 5-6ft deep.

I had the new lather covered up on my trailer and was gonna wait until Sunday to unload when it was clear and dry, but then the wind blew the tarp off of it, and it got rained on a bit, so I decided to do the big lathe shuffle this afternoon.

I'll leave it here for a few days (or weeks :laughing:) and get it cleaned up and gone over before moving it into final position.
