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 |

That is one of the biggest PITA jobs in the world!! I HATE working on the brakes as brake fluid has to be one of the worst substances in the world!!
Last time I replaced a MC I ended up taking out the gas tank to get more access. Obviously didn't need to do that was the frustration level was getting kind of elevated!! |

Talking about 'elevated', now that you have a lift, it should be a lot easier next time.Last time I replaced a MC I ended up taking out the gas tank to get more access. Obviously didn't need to do that was the frustration level was getting kind of elevated!! OT, I had to replace some fuel hoses on the Vanagon and having the 4-post lift handy was great, as I had to raise and lower the van to different elevations a few times to get a good grip on the old hoses to remove them, and to route the new hoses up and around the tranny (while being able to stand upright) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) |
