Budforgive me, but when I look at the exploded view, 29-8, in
the XS Build Manual, I don=99t see any hint that the Europa
=9CBrake Slave Cylinder LG23" breaks down into pieces or contains
an O ring.
=46rom what you=99ve written, I=99m thinking that if I
remove the two AN4H-15A bolts, doing so will allow me access to the O
ring that you=99ve mentionedPlease confirmor
Is the puck, or slave cylinder, just a block with a hole in it?
and if so, where is this O ring?
Please forgive my ignorance.
My leak appears to be coming from the bleeder screw; however, I have, as
per the manual, wrapped the bleeder screw in PTFE tape.
BTW, I=99ve really trashed the hex portion of the bleeder screw,
so I=99d love to find a replacement.

just aluminum, and rarely does the puck get damaged. It does get a bit
rough from corrosion. A freshly smoothed caliper and puck with a new O
ring seems to work well. I use a cotton wheel on a Dremel type tool and
some red jewelers rouge after a sanding with 1000 grit paper to shine it
up. O rings are tough to find. Especially the square edged ones. I'm
no help there.

spend the time and buff and clean.
