Need help with master cylinder resevoir....

Is there an easy way to get the plastic reservoir off without breaking it? You just pry it off right? I can't get it to come off and it looks like it will break if I put to much pressure on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You did lift up on the clips before prying, yes.

I got it off, but there weren't any clips. It was ON THERE! I can't believe it didn't break like the rest of the plastic parts on this car.

It should have 4 tabs on it to pull up on to pop it loose.

I was removing the entire reservoir from the master cylinder to place on the new master cylinder.

It has a roll pin that goes through it and the MC casting, between the 2 pieces of it where it plugs into the MC.

Never seen any clips, myself.

All mine had was the rubber seals holding it on. Maybe they changed them on certain years. It was on there so tight that I thought there was some sort of clip or pin that I couldn't see. I rocked it back and forth while prying with a large screw driver and it popped off. It was PITA!
