Hi there,

To replace the master cylinder you have to first undo the brake pipes at the master cylinder, you should use a flair nut spanner so you don't damage the fitting, undo the mounting nuts and with draw from the booster, be careful not to get brake fluid on the paint work, bench bleed the new cylinder and re fit, start all pipe unions by hand first then do up with spanner, top up fluid and bleed all wheels.
