I just left last Friday but you can do it.

Clamp in vice install hoses and adaptors from kit with the new M/C or from your auto parts store. Fill with brake fluid and make sure hoses are in the fluid. Use a phillips screwdriver and slowly push the piston to the bottom and relase slowly. When you get no more bubbles you are done.

If you end up not being able to do it yourself.... I would suggest A1A Transmission & Repair on Davis Blvd (by Modern Auto Air and Naples Auto Electric). He's the most honest and reasonable shop around for all general repairs. I go to him a lot when I can't do stuff. Ask for Ed... 239-643-4101. Tell him that Paul Smith sent you.

I'd probably be able to help out if you needed it. Not busy much since getting back from college.

Simply to do. Most of the bigger autoparts stores sell the tubes whit the master cylinder. Make sure the tubes are submerged in the brake fluid.

You can also just use rubber tubes with plastic connections. You don't have to have the copper lines.
