The hardest bit is getting the white plastic washer out .i drilled 2 small holes put in 2 self tappers and pulled it out with grips.every thing else is staight forward.oh yes getting the front piston reconected to the rear one is a bit of a fiddle because you have to compress the spring whilst putting the small pin back.

Hope your cylinder isn't scored like mine was

I would jot down or photo before taking apart,to get reassembly in right order.

I got my overhaul kit for this job from Past Parts in Bury St Edmunds,a lot cheaper than usual suppliers.

Apparently it's the same as fitted to some 1970s Saab cars - detailed instructions here: http://www.vsaab.com/html/Articles/brakemaster.htm

got it all apart, now have very skinny circlip pliers, unfortunatly i think the bore is scored to much to take a chance, on a bit of a time scale so bought a new one from Mr H

thank you all again don't know why there are not more forum users??
