How Do You Pull Out Reservoir From Master Cylinder?

[enka]

Hey guys, I really want to clean out my reservoirs for brake and clutch as it is extremely dirty from the fluid sediment especially around the walls of the reservoir, do I just wiggle and pull it out? some says once you take it out it goes to bin and need to replace all with the master cylinder, is this true?

or how do you clean yours?

IF its like other nissans there is an 8 mm bolt that holds the reservoir to the mc

look for it low down on the left (passengers) side

i used degreaser to clean mine and if you GENTLY wiggle it upwards when you remove it you wont damage anything

Yeah checked my rb25 and there's no bolt, hmm

[StevenCJR31]

if no bolt then you should be able to (gently!) pull the reservoir out

if that idea seems daunting then leave it in place and you might be able to mop up the sludge with a clean , lint free rag, use a clean screwdriver to push the rag against the inside of the reservoir
