take out the intercooler is prob the easyest once its of you,l get to the nipple easyer make sure you have something over it to catch the fluid obviously loosen it take the lid off the fluid refill and pump the pedal a few times hold it down do the nipple up whilst its still held down then see if it springs back up this could take a few goes and needs 2 people really
