So I'm in the processing of re-installing my master cylinder, brakes etc. I had to take the 90 degree fitting off of the old master cylinder & use on the new one. My questions are:
1. Is there a washer or gasket that goes between the main M/C body and the fitting or just a washer between the 2 parts of the fitting? 2. There is a hole for the fluid to flow through in both the fitting body and the piece that pivots around it, for each of the front brakes. My question is do these 2 holes have to line up? My guess is they don't, but just wanted to double check before I install this beast....I really don't want to do this twice. I hope I have explained this accurately,...I'm just referring to the front brake splitter for lack of a better term, ...not the feed lines to the reservoir. I do realize that I need a washer below the rubber grommets where the feed lines go. Thanks for your help.  |

The best way I've found to install the two reservoir lines is with the fuel tank out. If you have enough length on the fuel lines under the tank you won't need to totally remove the tank. Just uncouple and lift away the end near the reservoir. After doing this job both ways, I'm almost positive the factory had the tank out of the way during their install. Getting to the two grommets is easier too.
