to my dismay i think i have placed the o-ring inside the gold ring on either side. looks like i am going to have to pull the thing again doesn't it.

Afraid I don't recall the exact 0-ring placement (on outer ends vs inner grooves). It's been years since I did one. The picture suggests they just go on the ends, but I can't really say for sure. I suggest you take your old one apart and see where they are on that one.

i remember you writing your trick using a piece of wood to chock the pedal a little bit and limited brake fluid loss would occur. i couldn't get this to work for me.

Lots of posters have thanked me for that tip, so it should work for you too. Maybe the pedal wasn't pushed far enough? Try for 1.5 inches, or a little more (I don't think you can really go too far).
