Hi. pflaming
Any advise on removing the driver side rear brake drum. Also any guidance on installing a master cylinder on a 47 p15 4door , when I took the tire off there was brake fluid on the back of the steel wheel. As I recall the floor on the driver side was repaired and I think I'll NEED to cut an access if I NEED to go down from the top. Years ago l changed the brake lines, hoses, and wheel cylinders but not the master cylinder. I used silicone brake fluid.The brake pedal is on the floor, any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks Andy Coukos

Would you use a grinder to cut the access to the master cylinder?

Yes, on the grinder / cutting disc. It cuts fast and doesn't cut deep. Try to look under before cutting so you have some idea of clearances. Good luck.

pflaming thanks for grinder followup.
When l bleed the brakes should l try to replace all the fluid in the system, it is silicone and l wondered if it's better to stay with it or is standard fluid preferred .The silicone in the system is over 10 years old .
Thanks again Andy
