Okay, so I'm not going crazy..  It is really
difficult to get to.  Mike, you just confirmed
that by telling me I gotta loosen the master cylinder
to access it.  Sheesh!  Who wrote that it was easy?
I can't help but worry about those thin lines attached
to the MC snapping loose!  But don't get any brake
fluid on anything!  Worry-worry-worry!!  :(


Thanks,


Steven
