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.

I just went through this. The rubber bushings were trashed and broken on Brandons V8 car. We were hoping to fix it with the Master Cylinder in the car. No way in hell... Pulled the master cylinder, installed the new bushings into the master cylinder without the hoses. The washers were still their. Using glycerin we pushed and turned until the flared fitting was under the bushing. It's obvious when the flared part is under the bushing, it will rotate freely. Install master cylinder and hoses back in the car. Replace top hoses between reservoir and lines, bleed brakes drive car...
