The plastic lines from my brake fluid reservoir to the master cylinder have started to leak at the master cylinder grommets. When I replaced/upgraded to a19mm (a while ago) the grommets came installed.What do I need to know for the repair. Can I R&R them without breaking into the pressure side of the system? Should I just plan on pulling the MC as I'll need to bleed the system anyway?Thoughts anyone? I'm not looking to make this more than it needs to be.

I would imagine you MIGHT be able to do it without having to rebleed the brakes. In theory. But getting those grommets in is a real PITA. Doing it with the MC attached is tough, although if you pulled the fuel tank I suppose it's possible, IIRC. And yes, you need those two washers.
