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.

Update:
It just seemed best to pull it all apart and repair it correctly. I ended up pulling the gas tank, master cylinder, reservoir and feeder lines. I installed new lines and grommets onto the master cylinder and fed them through from below (I bet the factory took the same approach.). Then new bulkhead grommets, connecting tubes and the reservoir tank all from above. It all went together easily without much hassle. I reinstalled the gas tank, bled the system and done.
