Just finished putting in a new 19 mm master cylinder. [The old 17 mm one was shot and leaking.] I heard it was difficult getting the grommets back in, but this was ridiculous. I ended up jerry-rigging two small tools out of an old metal handle and part of a bicycle bottle attachment, and they worked. What were the Porsche engineers thinking when they created a situation with such a tiny space to work in? Or, did I just go about doing this wrong.

I had a hard time with mine also. Got it to work by cussing and taking my time.

(i did it the hard way too -- once...) |

If you think the 19mm was hard, wait until you put in a 23mm sometime!!!!

I just spent half a day putting a thermostat in my Jetta. What a bitch! It's hidden behind the power steering pump.
