2 bolts, 1 hose, one pressure fitting. Hardest part is usually bleeding it.
Get the new one and look under the steering column. 1/2 hour job at most.

Dennis.

BTW, Use good quality Brake fluid (DOT-4).

  Subject: Time/effort to replace clutch master cylinder?

  Our '86 Westy has a leaky clutch master cylinder.  Bentley doesn't say
much about the
  procedure.  Before I decide to do it myself or take it to the local shop,
can anybody
  give me a rough idea of the time it would take?  It's not too obvious from
poking
  around (i.e. without removing some stuff first)--don't need a
step-by-step, just a general
  idea of time requirement.  Is special bleeding equipment necessary?

  thanks,

  Steve
