Just installed a master on a 87T tonight. Drain the old master. I siphoned out the radiator overflow and removed it for better access to the rear brake line to master connection. I used a 11mm line wrench on the brake lines but I've also just used an adjustable wrench with the jaws as tight as possible. Remove the clutch feed line. Install the new master. Connect the lines. Fill the master. Put a bunch of rags under the master. Pump the pedal slowly up and down until the bubbles stop coming up in the resevoir. Loosen the brake lines about a half turn each. Have a 2nd person push the pedal to the floor slowly. Then tighten the both lines. Let the pedal up. Repeat until no bubbles come out of the brake line connection. It took me about 4 pumps with the tighten loosen process the eliminate the bubbles. Tighten the line connections. Install the radiator overflow and clean up the mess.
