Ken:
I just did this job and you need a deep socket to take out the middle
reservoir inside the center tube inside the reservoir first. From memory I
think it was 13/16. After removing that, the second reservoir bolt and nut
comes off with the same tool setup. The real trick is replacing the rubber
washer inside and brass washer outside(or possibly aluminum). You can get
new brass washers from British Parts Specialists but will have to go to Home
Depot or in my area Menards for the rubber gaskets to seal inside the
chamber. There are rubber backed washers from Fastenal I tried that did not
look like they would work well so I went with the original metal washers and
fit the Menards rubber washers under them.
I am looking for anyone who has a stencil that I can borrow that can be used
to spray on "BRAKE" and "CLUTCH" in white Helvetica block capital lettering
1/8 high on the sides of the reservoir. If anyone on the list has one I can
borrow it would be most appreciated.

Any tips on taking the nipples out of the can so that I can clean and
repaint? The nipple in the center tube is turning and I don't have
sockets that fit down the tube.
