[Staowners] Front wheel cylinders

[Guido Vanoppen]

Hello

Yes, there is:
Take a grease-nippel with the same thread as the air release valve of the wheel cylinder and replace the supply tube with a screw of the same thread.
Now, pump grease in the cylinder.
Instead of 10kg/cm2, with air,  your grease-pump will put several 100kg/cm2 on your piston.
A wonder if the corrosion is strong enough..

On my 1954 Alpine, the wiring goes from the flasher unit to the switch on the steering wheel to the lights.
The front side-lamps are dual 21/5 Watt, 
In the rear light, there are a 21 watt lamp for the indicator, and a dual 21/5 Watt lamp for the stop and back light.

Groeten, Sincerely, Cordialement, Grüßen,
Guido Vanoppen

  I have four frozen front wheel cylinders on my 54 Alpine. The method to use air to get the pistons out will not work on any of them.
  Any suggestions on how to free them up?
    Also I cannot find a diagram on how the 54 Alpine turn Indicators are connected. I find a flasher unit but no relay,as is used on the Mk3.  Does the 54 Alpine have separate turn indicator lamps or dual filaments?  Thanks for any Info. Ed
