Brake Resourvoir Feed Lines, Inserting the Feed Lines into the Master Cylinder Options

[NS914]

I expect the more experienced among you will know this but, I literally just put mine together yesterday. Much easier than I thought.

I had heard that you need to drop the Master Cylinder in order to press the lines in place and in fact tried that out....as it turned out the most effective aspect of this exercise was to swab a little brake fluid seals...the feed lines dropped in place with no fuss at all.

I hope this helps someone or at the very least makes you aware its not that big a deal at all. Grant

It's a "huge" deal and I've done tons of them. I "highly" suspect that the flare on the metal ends that go into your master cylinder are;

a ) not seated all the way or,
b ) not even in the ends of your lines like they should be.

The best method I've found is to loosen the reservoir so you can pull the lines down and have the master cylinder removed as well. The car should be up on a lift. We use assembly lube and brute force to angle the flare into its seat at the base of the grommet. Also, everyone should make sure the distance washers are in place to ensure a leak free tight fit.

Sorry, if it's "not a big deal" I'll almost guarantee something is wrong and, this is the master hydraulic pump for your car were talking about.
