New master cylinder...

Looking for any tips/info/suggestions on replacing my master cylinder. Got the FSM, and of course it looks easy as pie....

Thanks in advance...

Soak the connections with PB Blaster for several days before doing the job. And invest in a 10mm brakeline wrench.
Upon install, you will need to bleed the master, then each corner.

there is also a clutch master cylinder helps to specify which you are asking about.

It is the brake master.... Any difficulties with taking the old reservoir off and putting it onto the new cylinder?
