Preparations
Clean around brake fluid reservoir cap, by pipe connections, and, if necessary, by hose connection between reservoir and master cylinder to prevent
dirt entering braking system.

any vacuum remaining when undoing the master cylinder. Otherwise, there is a risk that the O-ring acting as a seal will be sucked
into the servo and disappear.
