The easy kit is a modified master cylinder that allows for easier installation with solid connections. Designed to minimize the swearing required with the OEM version.

Mark, I received my new master cylinder with easy-install option; planning on doing the install this weekend. I haven't seen the install write-up- maybe it's buried in thread and I've missed it. Will it be obvious how the easy-install kit connects to the reservoir lines?

It's actually pretty straight forward but I will work on this today so I can send it out to you.
Thanks,
Mark

Mark- you may want to post that here too. I need a refresher on bench bleeding it.

At least with the easy option I shouldn't have to take out the fuel tank!!

Yes, some instructions would help. Received mine today with the EZ install kit.
One of the threaded adapters was already installed (nearest the bellows); in a plastic bag there is a hose with plastic webbing on it and a screw clamp. In a smaller bag, another hose with 3 spring clamps and the second adapter. Curious why the second adapter is smaller than the first one.

Let us know what you designed to go where.

I've completed the instructions and forwarded to another member to review and add notes. I planned to get some feedback and modify to make a s clear as possible. I'll forward everyone a copy tomorrow.

Mark, did not get a chance to install the MC this weekend. Hoping to get under the car today but it may be the weekend. Sorry for that.

Well, the easy option turned out not to be so easy for me, but not Mark's fault.

Got the old MC pulled and removed the reservoir clamp yesterday but ran into a snag. I'm pretty sure someone zip-tied the reservoir lines are together underneath the gas tank, likely just before they separate, connect to the flared tubes and pass through the grommets. Although I have plenty of slack under the reservoir, I can't pull even a half-inch of reservoir line free under the car- impossible to cut and attach the 2 pieces of hose to connect to the MC.

The lines were zip-tied together twice under the reservoir that I can see before they disappear under the tank; I can only assume more of the same under there and that's what's keeping me from being able to pull any line under the car to work with. The lines are definitely hung up on something, somewhere under the tank.

So... going to have to pull the tank anyway, and it certainly didn't save me any swearing. Again, not Mark's problem, but as usual with this car, any "easy" job QUICKLY turns into (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

So has there been a final write up done yet and sent out? Just want to make sure I don't mess up anything with the switch over to the new MC. And, since it's up in the air and have to bleed down everything I am installing a new complete set of PMB calipers all around.

We have the initial instructions that I've emailed to all that have purchased on Dec 5th. The initial feedback is that the initial set is pretty complete. Bleeding the master cylinder is still an issue. Mostly due to the nature of the layout. I have cautioned to not use power bleeders to bleed the system. This is primarily because I did not test the pressure at which the hoses will leak. The old hoses may not take the load. We have included clamps to help hold the lower section.

These install like the factory master cylinders, but the inlet ports can be mechanicaly secured.

Let me know if you can't find in your inbox.

Mark,

This was in an email sent to me on Dec. 5th.

"We are compiling our instruction sheet for this part. It is a relatively straight forward process, The big issue was the insertion of the tubes with the rubber grommets. These are particularly troublesome. This kit allows for a much easier installation of the reservoir lines. You will still need to bleed the system and insure that the pedal pin is correctly inserted into the master cylinder.

If you have any tips or tricks you would like us to include we would look forward to your input.

Thanks again,
Mark Whitesell"

Haven't received any other email about instructions since then.

Got it. Pretty simple. Just wanted to make sure there wasn't something out of the ordinary I didn't know of. Customer service second to none. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

Thanks Mark.

Hey guys, if you haven't bench bled a master cylinder there are lots and lots of videos on youtube on how to bench bleed brake master cylinders. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Has anybody installed the MC using the quick connect kit? Do you have to cut off the flares from the resevoir lines?
