master cylinder swap

[Beardo]

ok so i have the great job of doing this this weekend but has anybody done this before and if so any hints or tips for a master cylinder swap virgin ? :ashamed:

m/c is pretty straight forward,it's the servo that's the ballache!

master cylinders not the worry, how are your bleed nipples?

i have some braided lines to go on, but i dread them fecking nips:cry:

i did mine recently, but admittedly the head was off.. just get a decent brake pipe spanner, avoid a regular spanner if poss as it'll just round off the soft couplings

what size are the unions , i've got 10mm in my head but im not 100% sure
