Brake Fluid reservoir stuck on old Master Cylinder 200 1985

The resevoir is seated in two O-rings. To remove it you need to pull it up while gently rocking it from side to side (careful not to break off the (2) nipples. To reseat it apply a coat of brake fluid to the O-rings and press it back in. Check the O-rings for damage, Replacing them may save you a problem later.

You need to prime the new cylinder before installation, this displaces air in the cylinder and reduce the need for brake bleeding. There should be instructions with the new cylinder regarding priming. If not then the Hayne's book explains it.
