Hey everyone looks like my hill holder on my 88 GL is leaking from a seal. I was curious if it's possible to replace the seals in these or if it's necessary to just get a new hill holder which is proving difficult to find. I'd rather not remove it and have to route more brake line wanna stay stock unless someone has good reason to persuade me otherwise (open to options). I'm loosing about 2TB of brake fluid every two weeks as it stands now. So yeah....possible to repair this thing? Anyone have any solutions for deleting it and maybe a MC upgrade or maybe that's not necessary? Lemme know what ya'll are thinking.

There is/was a thread on here about resealing them and what o-rings to use so I know it's possible to fix them. You could also find a used one that still works. I think it's a nice feature and worth keeping.

Alright I was told by someone that you couldn't re-seal them, but I figured that probably wasn't the case. anyone else feel like chiming in?

Yeah, just o-ring seal(s) from what I remember of that thread.

 

For Master Cylinder upgrade there's this. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/157224-i-just-upgraded-my-master-cylinderheres-what-i-found/

 

I have a few HH valves here, I take them off of mine.

It also could be the cap to the brake fluid reservoir is warped and does not seal properly.  A leak there will work it's way over the the hill holder cylinder and make it look like the cylinder is leaking.

alright thanks ya'll, Tom I'm gonna PM you about Hill Holders, if yours were in working order that is and you are willing to ship to Michigan land of the rust.

Shipping shouldn't be all that much. I'm about 3 hours away from you.

 

Had one HH leak, so I removed it. Pulled the others as I found them to be more hassle than benefit.

I preferred deletion for mine. Here's the tee that I found thru research here...
