Howto remove brake fluid reservoir?

[Mr Blue]

You wont need a spanner to keep the valve open if that what your thinking. It works with a spring yes.

you can use a cable tie to keep it in the open position

Bomp...that master cylinder looks mint!

Cheers Blue    I first painted 3 layers of black smooth Hammerite on it, but I didn't like the brush lines, so I feathered out most of the brush lines with P400 wet & dry, then bought a spray on black smooth Hammerite, and put about 2 layers on (15 mins between each) and let it bake in the sun for a couple of days to harden, because it takes days to go off. Then I did a final cut back with P1000 and sprayed a final layer.

I had to paint it, because every time I opened my bonnet, the first thing that caught my eye was the big round pile of rust that is supposed to help me stop.

if your just removing then refitting the resoviour you wont need to bleed it, as long as the brake pedal isnt pressed during the time its off/empty.

this is because its the highest point on the system innit.
