[QUOTE="Stringer, post: 177075, member: 2086"] Just updating a bit here. I have not yet received the cylinder from seller. He also gave me an incorrect tracking number. It will probably work out though (fingers crossed). I installed the rear wheel with new bearings, seals, and grease. Installed rebuilt rear caliper which has new pads, new insulators, new retainers, piston, piston seal, dust seal, caliper grease, etc. Flushed all the old fluid out. This took a long time and a lot of fluid. What came out was like mud and water. Got everything coming out clear with new DOT4 and bled brakes. Works like a dream now!
