Troy,

I couldn't give you a step by step but I have done this before and I am a
major mechanical neophyte. It was pretty easy. Remove your gauge cluster,
remove the fluid reservoir, and then take the cylinder out. Be careful not
to twist or break the lines that are connected to it. If I remember
correctly one of the bolts is hard to get at but it can be done with some
patience. I removed mine from a non-running van so I wasn't real careful of
spilling the fluid in the reservoir - I'll leave it to the more qualified to
direct you on draining the fluid - I did not and it was messy. Trust me you
can do it - I just went at it no Bentley or anything. You also might want to
check as to how (or if you need to) bench bleed the new cylinder. I didn't
do that either although I have been told I should have.

Good luck.
