front master cylinder reservoir

[martin]

hey, has anyone replaced the front brake master cylinder reservoir?
I need to replace mine soon (I have the part) but I'm still waiting for the previous owner to find his workshop manual.
it's not obvious to me from the parts diagrams I've seen how the reservoir is attached to the master cylinder.
advice on removal and installation would be appreciated!

oh, and I'm talking about my 1981 GS1000G

The best I can remember, just 2 screws inside the bottom of the reservoir and the "O" ring. Be careful not to drip the fluid on any painted parts.

My 1980 GS850,s master cylinder reservoir is basically a tight `push fit`, with a `o`ring which seals the gap between the reservoir and the master cylinder, just had mine off for a replacement....stubborn to get off, but no screws . The screws in the lid (4)just screw to the reservoir body.

cheers nicky boy,
sounds like I'll just have to 'pursuade' the reservoir off with the trusty aluminium hammer when the time comes.
