Can I Remove Protective Grating/Shield on Master Cylinder
As part of bleeding brakes/changing brake fluid I wanted to remove the whatever was in master cylinder/reservoir first. SoP is to (gently) use a baster or fluid pump, but my 2007/gen4 model appears to have a plastic grating/screen (not the filter) in the way, probably to keep larger debris out? Is there a way to remove this? I was worried about breaking/cracking it if it wasn't meant to come off.

---------------------------

edit: not sure what is up with the tags automatically added by system and that I appear to be unable to clear...sorry. Please ignore.

I know what you're talking about, it prevents you from sucking the reservoir dry and refilling with clean fluid, I wanted to do same but didn't try and remove it, just bled a lot more fluid from each caliper and refilled.
