What's the easiest way to change that @#%* rubber grommet on top that has the line from the reservoir in it? I've got the cussing down pretty good and a reallt big hammer, so...

I tried doing it while it was still in that car Mad Not happening, got it! I need to take it out of the car, but do I install it with the hardline already in the hole, or put it in after install the grommet into the MS.

Put the grommet in first, then install the line, or plastic fitting. I had no problems doing it on my '71, when it came out of its 15 year hibernation.

thanks, but is there a easy way to get the oversized grommet in the hole something water soluble that won't ruin the rubber? Shocked

Brake fluid, is a good lubricant on brake parts.
I have never really had any problems putting them in.
