I knew I needed to replace my clutch master cylinder in my LHD 110 CSW for a while now as it would leak onto the pedal and onto my foot requiring top ups often. Felt like I was on borrowed time and could be left stuck which would not be ideal with the family riding with me.
I saw all of the advice of taking the wing off or removing the pedal tower which would seem to make this a lengthy repair. Come to find out I could Kiss the Frenchman who was the original owner!!! He had fitted stainless steel hardware with allen head bolts. I Needed an Allen wrench, ratchet and wrenches. Best part is there was no wing removal, tower removal or anything else not even the bonnet just flipped it up. Took 2 hours and the only assistance was from the wife for bleeding. Turned a project I was dreading into a nice easy repair. Its not often you can say that. So if anyone replaces theirs I would say go with the stainless allen bolts when refitting and make it easier for the next time.
