I'm in the middle of installing a new master cylinder, and yes its the job from hell.
My plastic reservoir lines are pretty brittle so I'm thinking I may replace them with rubber lines instead that are approved for brake fluid of course, it will probably make the overall MC install easier as well, at least I hope so. Anyone replaced their lines with all rubber? The size I believe is 9mm inside diameter, I'm finding 3/8" which 9.5mm. |

is your difficulty getting the grommets back into the MC? I just did this job earlier in the spring. In my case they went in ok without too much swearing. I did it with the grommets on the lines and just pushed them in at together. Nice and lubed with brake fluid.

Yes, the difficulty is getting the grommets popped in, tried several different ways and still cant get it. Thought if I changed the lines I could do it all on the work bench and not have to wrestle with also keeping the orientation of the metal lines since the rubber will be more flexible. |
