I am having a problem with a leaking "welch" plug on an installed master cylinder that I purchased in a group buy from a vendor here. We all know what a pain it is to change a master cylinder so I am hoping to avoid that process. I see that bbrock had the same issue and was able to fix outside of the car. Has anyone fixed the welch plug in the car with any success? I really don't want to take it out.
Thanks for any good ideas. |

What size socket @bbrock ? Something small to press the center? Or larger to push around the perimeter?
