Anyone?

 

you drain all the fluid

disconnect the 2 brake lines, unbolt 2 bolts

Swap it.

then bleed.

It's a fairly easy procedure...
Are you stuck on any one particular part?

 

You should bench bleed the master cylinder before installation. It should come with two hoses that you use to loop back into the MC after you pour in fresh brake fluid, then you push/pull the MC piston to remove all the air bubbles. Then install. Use line wrenches so you don't bugger the line nuts and bleed the system after installation. There is also a procedure for adjusting the push rod that actuates the MC, but you probably will be ok skipping this step.

 

Well, if you must see a DIY:

Although not shown or talked about in the above link, I would agree with Sam92Teg to bench bleed the MC first (easier this way to get all the air out), and to use line wrenches on the nuts, to avoid rounding the nuts.

You'll still need to bleed the brake lines though, after the MC is installed.

 

I was just about to link to that.. beat me to it

 

flare nut line wrenches is a great thing to have, don't strip the nuts.

if you don't bench bleed the MC and you just bleed it after, same results will happen right? it's just easier to clear the air out if you bench bleed it right?

 

You are correct sir.
