Its basic, basic little job. #1) Remove the instrument cluster. #2) Remove the fluid from your old master cylinder by bleeding it out of a wheel bleeder or use your turkey baster and suck it out. #3) Remove the line to your clutch master if if have standard tranny. #4) Remove the two steel lines #5) Remove the two 13mm nuts holding it onto the vacuume booster. #6) Check the vacuume booster for fluids and using some alcohol and home swabs clean out the booster chamber as best you can. #7) Go back the same way. #8) This is a good time to purge and clean the entire brake system, bleed the brakes and clutch and you're done.
