Tip: To get the push rod out of the master cylinder.
Leave the master cylinder bolted to the fire wall.
Remove the brake switch bracket.
Pull back on the brake pedal.
"Pop" out comes the push rod.
And yes, Chrysler engineers did design a pushrod grommet for their master cylinders. Not sure why that is so hard to understand ?
Ill rephrase what i was saying when i stated - chrysler did not design "some special rubber" grommet. Meaning they didn't come up with a whole new invention of rubber for the grommet to secure it in the MC. They simply just took a piece of rubber and cut it in the correct dimensions of the hole to the MC.
Since you're a non believer in my oring job. I just took it out, because adhd and couldn't stop thinking of it... now I'm again kicking myself in the *** for doing so.
The pushrod was a thorough pain in the *** to get out of the MC. As a matter of fact, part of the oring stayed within the MC and I had to fish it out.
As you can see by the picture the hole for the pushrod is barely bigger in diameter than the pushrod. I did some more science and the hole for the pushrod on the other MC is a bit larger maybe 1/16...
In the end, had to use some of the new black orings that are 7/16 outer diameter because there was no way in hell the 1/2 outer diameter orings were going to go in... by trial and error I know this.
Pushrod is back in and now I get to rebleed my MC and rebleed my entire brake system...yay me...
Next time how about you bring those Hulk arms by and I'll let you give it a try. You get it in, I buy you dinner and may let you drive it. You don't get it in you buy me dinner.
Now it's time for a beer... or 3.
