Got a front strut brace but I doesn't fit. It follows the curve or the rear engine bay fine and fits on the passengers side strut but hits the brake reservoir cap on the drivers side. Anyone know a simple way round this?

Cheers

change the reservoir around 180 degrees is the solution

Is it as simple as pull it out and push it back in? Or do I need new seals and that?

PeteG40

there will be fluid all over and if air gets in you might need to bleed the brakes?

Got round to doin this today, worked a treat .Managed to do it without having to bleed the brakes aswell ;D did have to change the seals tho
Just need to fit the strut brace now.
