RD250LC Master cylinder.<br>It&#8217;s possibly 35 years since this one has had any attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It had the normal seized and rounded 4mm crosshead in the top which I dealt with in the time honoured manner of dremmeling a slot across it for use with an impact driver.&nbsp;<br>An hour of heat and hammers later, I finally beat it, and opened it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure
