Hi,
I'm just about to fit new brake cylinders and a new master cylinder (been putting it off for nearly two years but one rear cylinder finally gave up the ghost over the winter). I know that when rebuilding existing ones the new seals should be coated with brake fluid before assembly. If they're new out of the box do they need to be taken apart to do this or can they be fitted straight away? (I think that they can but I reckon that its safer to ask first!)
One of the great things about Volvos is that they usually give you plenty of warning before anything fails and the part that fails usually looks like its been there for decades. This can lead to bad habits like leaving the brakes for two years before fixing them...... Having bought a Triumph last year I've grown to appreciate the Volvo more and more both in terms of its indestructability and how easy it is to work on. The Triumph is completely different - its a dog to work on and the parts quality isn't anywhere near Volvo levels.
Anyway - back to the brakes - thanks in advance for any advice.
