<DIV><FONT size=2>To be fair, and having done it both ways with both
masters at various times and for a repaint, it's MUCH easier to get at the banjo
bolts through the large plug in the firewall than it is to remove and refit
those two bolts which are higher up behind the dash.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>As said getting the lower nuts on the master cylinder is a
fiddle, but again nowhere near as bad as those two bolts. I wedged
the nuts into an open-ended spanner and stuck the washer to them with
grease.</FONT></DIV>

between the single-circuit (not dual?) brake master and the pedal
box? It surely can't be to do with alignment.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>.... To get to the lower attachment bolt, you have to go through a
hole in the firewall, right behind the master cylinders. It is covered
with a rubber "plug", and is not easy to get
to...</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
