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.

Exactly what service do the washers perform? I see them in both the Haynes and Lash manuals but without any mention in the text. Are they intended as end of travel stops for the reservoir tubes?
