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 |

I too suspect the washers are in the box, and not in the master cyl.
I use two flare wrenches, and some creative levering to press the rubber grommet into the master cylinder, and it's never been what I'd call "easy". |

Hello Eric....you just have to live through trying to get it to seal correctly which if it takes 4-5 hours to get it right you really understand your comment in this thread.....initial poster just be sure it is not going to come out or leak.....they are your brakes.... gg |
