2 bolts, 1 hose, one pressure fitting. Hardest part is usually bleeding it. Get the new one and look under the steering column. 1/2 hour job at most.

BTW, Use good quality Brake fluid (DOT-4).

Subject: Time/effort to replace clutch master cylinder?

Our '86 Westy has a leaky clutch master cylinder. Bentley doesn't say much about the

procedure. Before I decide to do it myself or take it to the local shop, can anybody

give me a rough idea of the time it would take? It's not too obvious from poking

around (i.e. without removing some stuff first)--don't need a step-by-step, just a general

idea of time requirement. Is special bleeding equipment necessary?

thanks,

Steve
