I've been doing my searching on installing a new master cylinder and,
many seem to suggest completely taking out the feed lines and installing them into the master cylinder outside of the car. Seems simple enough, but, how are the feed lines reinserted back up to the reservoir? This is with the gas tank in. |

Just disconnect the hoses from the reservoir, and pull them down about 6 inches. This allows you to get a good grip on them when pushing them into the master cylinder rubber grommets. The grommets go into the master cylinder, and then the lines go in the grommets. The sorta go "squick" when they they pop fully in place. Once they're in, put the master cylinder in place, then reconnect the lines at the top. Always use new grommets. Repalce the short rubber hoses at the reservoir (with the right type of hose) if they don't look new.

Thanks for the replies.
