I was reading somewhere here about how difficult it is to get the tubes from the reservoir into the grommets on the master cylinder. I greased them up with caliper assembly lube and they slipped in as easy as a 50 year ol....well lets just say they went right in.

I also used brake assembly lube and pulled them on using a brake flare wrench (a trick I picked up from a member on another thread). Also, the grommets that came with my 914rubber MC leaked. It could have been operator error but the ATE grommets I bought from Porsche to replace them seemed to be a heftier rubber and have worked fine. And yes, I had the washers installed, and yes, they are needed.
