There is a leak on the rubber gromet of the brake reservoir that is mounted on top of the master cylinder. Is there any siple way to pop it out?

Yeah, just pop it out... pop out the line plugs first or the reservoir... and then just pop out the grommet. New one available at dealer.

Just be careful, brake fluid removes paint, so cover eveything with lots of rags.

Be gentle with the reservoir, it will crack if you get too rough with it.

remove the old grommets and clean the ports with a Q tip and fresh fluid, wet the new grommets with fluid and pop them into the master, wet the nipples of the reservoir and gentlty push and wiggle it into the grommets.

Fill with fresh fluid and enjoy.

The reservoir can be stubborn to get out. I wrestled with mine for 20 or so minutes before it came out. Don't get frustrated with it, it will come out.
