**How to change master cylinder*** writeup***
I'm going to do a quick summary, since it's a faily easy job.
You only need 3 tools!
A 9mm ranch
A 11mm ranch
A 13mm socket
First get a few towels, and place them next to the master cylinder, you are going to pull the oil fluid older up...and flip it over right away-lay it down on the towels.
With the 11mm ranch, undo the lines that go to the master cylinder--theirs 2 lines...be carefull
Then with the sokcet you take the 2 bolts on each side of the master cylinder that go to the brake booster. Then pull right off.
Then you get your new Master Cylinder, lupe it up with DOT 4 oil...put it in place... bolt the 13mm back in place. Put the lines back in place.
Clean the oil older...put it back in place..put the new fluid in.
Go to the right rear tyre, losen up the wheel, lift up the car, take off the wheel. Start bleeding the brake oil fluid from this side....
To bleed i had someone pump 10 times and hold in...on the 9th i would unscrew it..and as hes going in let all the air out and tighen up...do this a few times..till you see no more air, and clean fluid. Everytime you do one, go check that the fluid holder is full in brake fluid...tadaaa very easy...took me 30 mins tops!

I need an oil change bad by those 2 mechanics!
It is HARD not to want to have my oil evacuated from both sides of my old faithful big V-8, five and a half litres of hot Geman engine!
Do the mechanics come only with Ferraris or Mercedes too?
