Default Help with master cylinder elbows


anyone know how to get these elbows back into these new seals? I’m at a loss and don’t want to damage the seals acting a fool. I bought the kit off of moss motors for the seals and bought a dynamic friction master cylinder as that’s the only in stock one I could find. If there’s an issue with those items I’d also like to hear back on that. Any and all help is appreciated.

I’ve also noticed this seal on the back of the cylinder where it meets the booster and have not found any sources for another part, I know it will most likely leak if I don’t have one, anybody know anything?

Use Red Rubber Grease to ease them in. SNG Barratt has Morris brand. Amazon has Miller brand. Millers Oils 5196TB Red Rubber Grease, 500ml tub, (16.9 fl oz) https://a.co/d/aurTm9q

The most famous brand is Castrol, but the “red” Castrol Pyroplex in a tube from Autozone is NOT the same thing. The correct red rubber grease is called “Red Rubber Grease” and is castor bean oil based, not petroleum based.
