1969 RR With manual brakes , how does the push rod that hooks to brake paddle come off the plunger that goes into the master cyl.? I took a Alan bolt off the cyc part of the plunger but can not get the plunger off the push rod !!

Thanks Ton C

There is a O ring inside the master the rod goes into.They can be a bear.You can put the rod end in a vice and smack the plunger off.Make sure the new master has the Oring or a piece of vacuum hose so the rod cant fall off.Rocky

Thanks I have the rod and plunger out and put it in a vice and just smack it off the plunger!! Now I will be buying a new Master will this plunger be in the new one ?? and just insert the rod into the new plunger

Thanks Tom C

Got it !!!

I'm assuming you are replacing the MC. FYI next time leave the allen bolt in the MC rear flange holding the piston in place, in there & clamp the MC in your vice & slip a rod thru the end of the pushrod & hit the rod with a hammer at a straight angle close to the eyelet to drive/pull the other end of the pushrod straight back out of the MC piston. If your hyd floor jack has a hole in the plate/correct dimentions to set the MC/pushrod verticaldown into it then slip a rod under the jack horizontle thru the eyelet then jack it up (the even pressure works much better) to seperate em
