    I have developed a skill that the last two times that I have bled my brakes I drop something under the master cylinder :incazzato:

    Last time it was the cap itself and this time it was the filter under the cap

    I could not even get to the bugger when I removed the panel in front of the resevoir/master cylinder this time.

    As you can see above I went to the realOEM site and I cannot find the part# for a replacement. I hope it does not come as part of the reservoir........

    Help

    Here is a suggestion.......

    Take an air gun connected to a pressurized air line and just force a lot of air in and around the master cylinder and you might just cause it to jump out from it's hiding place.....:D

    I'll give it a whirl but it is mighty tight in that space with the firewall in place. Even when I took it off I couldn't get at it
