Master Cylinder: Reassembly

Reassemble piston assemblies using a thin coating of ATE brake cylinder paste (or equivalent). Install piston assemblies into cylinder bore using a suitable guide sleeve (BMW 6063) to prevent damaging seals. Install secondary piston stop screw, making sure that piston is pushed fully forward before screw is installed and tightened. Install retaining ring in end of master cylinder bore.
