MASTER CYLINDER MC TIPS
- Read other comments, many provide tips.
- Screen on MC will prevent turkey baster from effectively removing fluid. Therefore, when disconnecting top line on frunk side of MC, have plug ready to block fluid flow. mine was rubber cone shaped A spill is not preventable, but plugging line will help contain it. Roll of paper towels for spill.
- The lower line on MC is held by clip from the side. Long needle nose plyers can help get the clip started into the slot on reinstallation, then press clip to seat.
- 10MM Racheting wrench mentioned by others works great to remove bolts
- Removing clip on clevis pin is the hardest part of the job because your vision is VERY limited. I used mirrors to get a better look at where I needed to pry to remove clip.
- Don't worry about disconnecting line from inside the interior while MC is in place. Once unbolted and pin is removed, just pull the MC out top line will pop through rubber grommet at firewall keep MC tipped so that the lines point up to prevent spilling.
- Then, once out, top line on MC is EASY to unclip
