So I am replacing the brake master cylinder on my 85 4runner and I can not for the life of me get the brake fluid reservoir off the old MC to transfer it to the new MC. What is the trick?? I see that the hole that the reservoir goes in is threaded, but when I try to unscrew the reservoir it just spins and spins.
I am looking for the insight and wisdom of my marlin crawler family.

Thanks in advance.

There's a special hollow bolt in the bottom of the reservoir holding it on if i remember correctly.
