Kevin,
I hope you had a great trip.  You'll have to write about it and submit 
it.

  Hi Jeff,
  My mono-wheel brake was leaking a bit of fluid and not holding 
pressure well. Turned out to be the O-ring seal. We removed the brake 
---From the disc and used a rubber tipped compressed air  gun to push the 
"puck" out of the slave cylinder. Then we saw the o-ring to  replace. It 
looked like it was leaking from the bleed screw simply because the bleed 
screw is the lowest point to drip from.

  When the mono is sitting tail down the master cylinder in the tunnel 
is at an angle with the filler low. I needed to raise the tail (or 
unmount the master cyl) to get the air out.

  Messy job eh?

  Kevin
