| Slap a bit of CV grease in there, push it back in, reclip the boot using a large (or two small) cable ties. The inners work about 5% as hard as the outers so no real problems. |

| If you buy the kit/tool to do it yourself, the connector will fit only one connector, the low pressure one. You can’t get it wrong. Pretty sure it’s under the flap next to the master cylinder rese ... |
