Re: Master Cylinder grommets

["Wm. Josiah Erikson" <werikson@hampshire.edu>]

It's very easy. This is what I did.
1. Drain all the fluid out of the reservoir (turkey basters work fine... just
don't take it out of the grommets, too... you want some to stay in there)
2. Pull the reservoir off carefully, wiggling it a little, but mostly pulling
straight up. It should come off without a problem. You should have taken the
cap off by this point, BTW : )
3. pull out the old rubber grommets
4. Put in the new rubber grommets (both by hand, very easy)
5. Pop the reservoir back on and refill it.
    Done!
