Anyone have advice on the best way to get the reservoir tubes and grommets into to the master cylinder? I couldn't get them to slip in with the grommets in the master cylinder so I tried pushing them on the metal tubes and then pressing them in neither way is working. I have every thing else in place.

Rich's way is by far the best way, but if you really want, I had success by heating a closed end wrench, bending it 90 degrees, cutting it to make a kind of crowsfoot wrench, and putting a screwdriver through the other side to make a handle. Fitting the bent end over, cut end over the grommet and tube, it should hang down below the master cylinder. You then simply hang off the handle, curse the fellow that designed this, and pray that the grommets pop into place!

Honestly, the bench assembly is much easier on your nerves!
