All right guys,
I am almost done with replacing my master cylinder, the old one was a bitch to get out considering 30 years of east coast grime, but it came out without breaking or striping anything. now, to get the new one in, whats the best way to get the metal resivour lines to seat in the rubber boots! everything else lines up fine, but no matter how hard I push and pull, I cant get the lines to fit all the way in! I have read the article on the Pelican site and have tried the recomendations there, so now I'm asking the true pro's! Help!! -Adam |

loosen the fittings at the reservoir on top, pull the two lines down from under the car as far as you can (normally 4 or 5 inches further than they normally are)
I put the rubber grommets in the M/C first, then I lube the lines up with some clean brake fluid and twist the lines in........ this is with the hard lines disconnected. |
