Re: Europa-List: Leaking slave cylinder

[Paul McAllister <paul.mcallister@qia.net>]

Hi all,

My mono wheel cyclinder leaked after 80 hours.  I pulled it apart and found
that there was quite a bit of surface corrosion and some metal debris
present.  I cleaned it out with a very fine scotch brite pad and replaced
the O rinds and brake pads. It only took a couple of hours to repair and has
now been on the aircraft for another 70 hours without showing any signs of
leaking.    I am using Silicone brake fluid.

Hope this helps,  Paul
