Question: Is it possible to remove the tank from the master? The rear screws are easily removed, but it feels like a press-fit in the front that doesn't want to come off.
Thanks in advance for any / all replies.

My experience is the front has a square/flat oring type seal that is unobtainable, it does NOT come in the rebuild kit. I had to buy a complete new dual brake master AFTER spending $90 for the SEALED rebuild kit. I would suggest just buy a complete new master. Oh if you do want to take it apart it does just push in but may be corroded in and you will have to rotate it to break it free.
