    Master Cylinder Replacement

    What's involved in replacing the master cylinder?

    Is it simply those 2 bolts, 4 hoses and a bleed?

    Laguna 23.8mm one fit?

    When i last did mine, i bled it first, on both rears to empty the res, then undid all 4 pipes, once lose they just pull out (carefull you dont bend them)

    Undid the 2 nuts holding it on, there is like a bracket under those which you need to take off, then under that there were 2 more nuts holding it to the bulkhead, once they were off it just pulled off, if it doesnt come out with ease there will be another nut holding it on....

    So yeah only the 2 iirc.

    Res just pulls off with force.

    Making all new lines and hopefully refurb the bias valve or run an incar adjustable one, haven't decided which yet.

    Anyone recommend some decent fluid?

    Reduces pedal movement which is particularly good for larger pistoned breaks! Gives more "feel"
