4. Removing brake fluid lines
Install a line wrench firmly on the brake fluid lines departing from the
master cylinder. A line wrench is a special wrench that holds five points of the
fitting as opposed to two points like a normal wrench, which gives this special
wrench more power without damaging the fitting than a normal wrench. Apply force
to the wrench in a counter clockwise motion to loosen and remove fitting and
line in the master cylinder. Repeat operation until all fluid lines are removed.
Note: brake fluid will leak from brake lines when removed.
5. Removing master cylinder mounting bolts
Insert socket wrench onto master cylinder mounting bolts. After mounting
bolts are removed, lift the master cylinder off the mounting studs and out of
the vehicle.
6. Reinstall master cylinder
Reinstall master cylinder, tighten master cylinder mounting bolts and
reconnect the fluid lines and fluid level sensor. Refill with fluid and
bleed
brake system as needed. CAUTION: DO NOT DRIVE OR MOVE VEHICLE
UNTIL NORMAL BRAKE PEDDLE OPERATION IS PRESENT! How to Repair/
