Is changing the brake master cylinder as easy as it sounds in the Haynes manual ?

A. Bleed brake fluid out of the system
B. Remove the brake fluid resevoir
C. Disconnect the brake pipes off the MS using an 11mm Flaired spanner to stop any rounding of the nuts.
D. Undo the two securing nuts to the servo 13mm i think ?
E. Withdrawl the MS.
F. Refit new MS with new O-Ring without damaging the new MS shaft.
G. Tighten all back up, with new nuts etc
H. Refit fluid resevoir, refill with fresh brake fluid and give it a good bleed through.

Job Done, or is this too easy too be true and im missing something ???????????

I have a Phase 3 99 T Plate GTi-6

Check your rear bleed nipples turn first.

Now in a Megane R26

They are all fine as i did a bleed last week while un-seizing the rear calipers. I thought after that and a good bleed, it would be back to being 100%.....NOT.....

So i tested the Vacuum Servo Unit and the Vacuum Servo Check valve and they operatre as they should do, it could only be one thing left...The MS. Got a new OE Pug one sitting around so may as well just change the whole thing over together with a new O-Ring.

Never rains but it pours with a 6
