Default It is easy to replace.

Remove circlip #7 and pull out pin #8 under the dash.

Default Hey Paul and Tozo -

I got the job done. I didn't need to do anything under the dash, I just removed the reservoir, the 2 nuts holding the master cylinder and that's it.

The master cylinder fixed my problem.

I bought a brake bleeder for simplicity of bleeding all 4 corners. It went quick, and with the brake bleeder that I bought, you could see both the change in dirty to clear brake fluid (in the transparent bleeder lines, and any air bubbles still in the system.

Thanks for the advice, it really helped out.
