From: krnet at list.krnet.org Mark These brake cylinders look very similar to the lower portion of the Rosenhan cylinders I have except that mine have the reservoir cast with the piston. The castings are very similar, ie. the port, the mount pivot and overall shape. Yours must have a remote reservoir higher on the firewall to feed both brakes.I agree that the piston needs to be really extended to get them to bleed out any air, to the point where the upper O-ring is almost exposed. Tricky procedure to do by yourself.Hope this helpsPete Klapp Can anybody identify the brake cylinder shown in the enclosed photo? It's a half-inch diameter (unfortunately), and I'm not so sure it's at the top of its game, despite my "rebuild job", cleaning it out, blowing out the passages, and putting in new o-rings. In my first taxi test, I quickly discovered no brakes on the right side. It's not developing pressure at all, and I'm pretty sure there's no air in the line. I'm trying to figure out the internal workings, check valve wise.
I'd rather take a serious beating that have to remove this thing, especially with the panel in place. Come to think of it, that's what it'll be...a serious beating, but that may have to happen before I can fly it. Condition inspection is done, so now it's the brakes...
