Hello,

I recently had to replace the hydraulic line between the Master & Slave
cylinders of my YJ. After fitting the new hose in successfully, I'm
getting severe leakage coming from the master cylinder.  I believe it's
coming out of the connector piece.  I know I can go online and buy a
new master cylinder for $50, but I was wondering if anyone had thoughts
as to why it's now leaking.

A few other notes:
- We replaced the spring pin with another
- There is some play between the hose and the master cylinder
connector, slight jiggling.

If it's true that basically i'm not getting a good seal, how might I go
about sealing it up?

Thanks,

Matt

    Sounds like the fitting failed, replace it again.

It sounds like it is still very loose.  Or you got the incorrect line or
fitting...
