I have done both the brake and clutch master, very straightforward job
although a little messy, its a matter of replacing the rubber parts inside
and bleeding the system. By the way if the reservoir is empty that means a
rather substantial leak somewhere, I would advise going through the whole
brake system. In my 82 westy I had to replace the all the rubberparts of
the rear brakes and the master. I think a kit is available from most
dealers and the internet.
