New OEM Master Cylinder leaks
While I'm waiting on my new Tick Adjustable MC to get here, I figure I would get some input to what made this new MC leak out of the top of the shaft where it attaches to the peddle? I got it from CarQuest, it did not have a new braided line so I had to use my original. Never put any miles on the car cause it's still not fixed. I did do alot of bleeding also pumping the peddle. Did I abuse it?

Did you bleed yours alot? I find it hard to believe that my pumping the pedal to bleed it did it in. I got 67,000 mile out of the original, but I never had to pump or bleed the pedal till the day it went out. Then I buy a replacement OEM and it fails after alot of pumping and bleeding and I get no mileage out of it. Are the parts that much bad? Yes, I have the new Tick MC, not installed yet, and it's a world of difference in quality.

I had a replacement slave that was the exact OEM make I got at O'Rielys come apart just bleeding it. Shiat happens. Got a replacement one of same make, no issue.
some people report using Mighty Vac "reversed" a seal inside....I don't know about that happening unless you use a ton of PSI with the MV. I have found 5-10 PSI is plenty when using a MV. Always had better luck just bench bleeding by hand though on both MC & slave.

I just put my Tick Master in and it only took 20 min. The trick was I used a strap with a hook and pulled that clump of wire loom up as far as it would go, as they had said. Turn the MC upside down(also read it) and once I got it down close, I flipped it over. They said the bottom bolt is easiest but the top was the easiest for me. I got lucky as hell! Now I have to hang up side down in the seat and get that damn clip back on!
