Rear master cylinder
Well was going to go for a ride today, thank goodness it was raining. Since it was raining like hell I decided to flush and bleed my brakes, because the rear has been a little mushy. Well come to find out the rear master cylinder is leaking. I am asking if it is recommended to rebuild the original MC or go for new? If new any recommendations and a link if you have one? 1977 FLH disc brakes.
Thanks

in my experence once it starts to leak the wear is in an oval fashion so putting round parts back in is no help -
just buy a new one BUT spend the money for one made in the usa the china $hit will only last a year like your toaster -- jz

I wouldn't under-estimate it when he says completely. Once I think it is totally flushed, I go back and do it again. And that's everything, master cylinder, caliper and fittings, brake line, seals. Everything.
After that you should be good to go for a long while with a trust worthy system. If there's one thing I like to be trustworthy it's my brakes.
When I changed from 3 to 5 I even changed brake lines just to be sure.
