Default Brake M/C ?
How hard is it to take the resevoir off the master cylinder?
M/C is leaking and I need to replace.

Thanks!!

On my '88 it was very very easy. Just two bolts holding it on then the lines.

Read a post couple years ago on that.

Not to hard to get off but getting it back on took some expertise. You have to make sure it is sealing properly and not to distort or crush the rubber seals when installing the reservoir.

Oops, yeah the reservoir is very very easy to remove. It just pulls off. Harder to install!
