replacing master cylinder, 2007 E450
Hey, kids. I am attempting to replace the master cylinder on my E450. I let it run dry so I figured I take it out and bleed it. Then I figured, hey, as long as it's out, why not put a brand-new one...

OP, the Reservoir probably is removable. I tried to look at ours today and couldn't see enough to be sure, but there are often roll pins holding the reservoir down through plastic "ears" on the reservoir notching into metal "ears" on the cylinder. Some replacement masters are sold without the reservoir. Might be possible to get the pins out of the old one, get the reservoir off, and see where you stand. Getting the new one assembled in reverse order, pins and all once it was in place, could be prohibitive.
Could you loosen the booster at the firewall and tip the assembly to gain some wiggle room?
