Sorry if this has been covered...
Changing master ; do filler lines get pushed in or do I need to pull out rubber inserts , push on to lines then reinstall. Don't feel I am getting them in all the way. Thanks |

Mine pushed into the rubber things.
Not sure if I ever did one where I pulled them out first. That may be one way to do it though. |

Washer. Grommet. Metal lines. Put them in AFTER the washer and grommet are installed. I use small vise grips and a hooked puller.

yeah - sometimes, less pressure gets them in, vs, the fierce pressure you MAY feel is needed.

I gave up after 3 attempts and pulled the grommets out and put them on the lines per the Pelican article.

Try seating the supply lines before bolting the MC up. You may need to unbolt the reservoir to give you enough slack.

Yes. Get them from the old one. Did the new one (you bought "Ate", right?) come with the rubber grommets? Note: If you bought a Chinese master cylinder, you'll have a chance to get really good at the R&R and bleeding procedures, IF you live through the brake failure ...............

My ate mc came without washers under the grommet. I reused the washers from my old mc. I would not leave them out
