The brake master cylinder on my 1952 3100 was leaking so I removed it yesterday and ordered a new one. The two bolts that hold it screw into a metal bar that was on the other side of the frame. It seems like I would need three hands to reinstall the master cylinder: one to hold the bar in place, one to hold the master cylinder, and one to turn the bolts. I only have two. Is there some trick to doing this?


My dad always told me, "Don't force it, get a bigger hammer".
