hey guys for a eg6 brake master and trying to fit it onto my eg4 . i can't get the line to fit (rear line) onto the brake booster .. it seems the eg6 brake booster has a smaller hole then my eg4 brake booster? anyone know a way around this? do i have to change lines?
thanks
you mean the rear line (closest to the firewall) to fit onto the MASTER CYLINDER (not the brake booster) ?
um yeah the rear line closest to firewall . yeah the thing that i put the fluids into ? is that the booster or master cylinder? but yeah either way the rear line goes into that and i can't get it in. thanks
are u sure it's 100% lined up ? Spray abut of degreaser around the nut and wipe it to clean any excess brake fluid off too
Try loosening off the brake booster from the back ( pedal side) to give some play and easier to line up the lines - also remember to use your fingers to try and get it to bite before using a flare nut wrench to tighten , you can easily round the edges so be careful
Yeah should def line up. Can be tricky to install but take your time and it should go on.
hm okay thanks for the help guys much appreciated. the dude i bought it off reckons because i got a eg4 (drums) lines might be smaller or something.. but yeah i dunno just wanna get the eg6 master cylinder in because my brakes are quite soft at the moment
Size only differes if the master cylinder is off a ABS model
For example a dc2 or dc4 master cylinder/booster will fit fine as the lines are the same
yeah i was with him when we tried to fit it...
the line furthest away from the firewall fits in fine, but the line closest to the firewall i looked at the size of the nut and its actually bigger than the hole itself on the eg6 bmc...
What proportioner are you using ?
I'd consider to source an actual rear hard line from a eg5 or dc2 or dc4 etc
um proportioner? whats that? yeah my friend suggested that we might go check the wreckers and find a rear hard line from one of them. thanks
