Hi Mike.
I had endless problems with the Jaymar cylinders including sticking
pistons, problems with bleeding and at one point the failure of one
side. I have thrown them away and replaced them with the Matco ones
available from the factory and have had absolutely no problems since.

Subject: Europa-List: Master Brake Cylinder
Good day All,
I was attempting to bleed my brake system but wasn't having too much
luck. So I pulled my Jamar master cylinder and found that the large seal
nearest the spring was torn to pieces....on BOTH side! I am hoping that
this was just an error in insufficient lubrication when reassembling
after I tore the master cylinder down to clean out the crude that seemed
to be left over after the manufacturing. The part number off the seal is
220-L-4502 along with a 54. If my resources were correct then this
should be made of Buna-N (Nitrile) and is compatible with my Hydraulic
Fluid 41 Mil-H 5606G. The other seal is marked ADM-45 2110....also
Nitrile?
So here are my questions:
1) Am I right about the material and the compatibility?
2) Is there a source for me to order replacement seals in the US?
3) Is there a lubricant that I should be using when I reassemble the
cylinders?
4) Are people still sanding down the outer edge of the white disc to
prevent sticking?
5) Are builders replacing the spring with a stronger one or adding
another spring?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
