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.

Did you include the metal washers? I'm confused are you talking about the master cylinder or the 50 year ol...... There are metal washers that go in at the base of the MC, underneath the rubber grommets... My MCs have always come with washers and grommets pre installed.... |

Rubber grommets were installed on mine also. It would be foolish to remove them to check. If you do while your at it be sure to pull the MC pistons and check them too. |
