dracenroc Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I thought this will never happen to me but I don't remember where the return spring for the brake pedal is attached. Actually it should have been just a one day brake overhaul job but since some other things came in between I dismantled it weeks ago and didn't make any pictures. Can anyone post a picture where the spring is attached (both sides) for an '38 Special? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCHinson Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 While probably not identical, a 1938 Century is probably similar. This photo was taken when I was documenting a 1938 Century while disassembling it to restore it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dracenroc Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share Posted December 30, 2022 Thanks for your help. The 40's have no spring extension and probably not the same anchor point but it helps me where to have a closer look in search for the anchor point.

dracenroc Posted January 3, 2023 Author Share Posted January 3, 2023 Finally found the anchor point on the bracket attached to the frame holding the master cylinder. It's slightly different then on the '37. Bracket is closer attached to the frame on the '38, makes it more difficult to detach the master. Loosening the bracket and slide out the brake pedal a bit gives access to the master cylinder bolts. Was the easiest way for me to remove the master cylinder. All in place again I couldn't see the hole above the cylinder 🙂 Thanks for your help Gary! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
