The hardest part is getting the old one out and cleaning the corrosion and mess from the old one. You can press fit the new one but I would use a very small bead of sealer that will resist hydraulic fluid.fred1diver wrote: ↑Fri Apr 06, 2018 4:09 pm hey everyone, how easy is it to change the sight glass on the master cylinders?
