Brake Master Cynliner Reservoir cracked

So I noticed on my 2000 Grand Prix GT that the plastic Brake Master Cyliner Reservoir looked very "aged", I pushed on it slightly to see how brittle it was and it "spider web" cracked on me. (not leaking yet) I ordered a new one I found on Amazon for $23. Any tips on changing that out? Can I do it on the car with out removing the MC? I would rather not crack open any lines for fear of damaging anything if I don't have to since the car is almost 14 years old. At least it's a FL car so no rusty parts, but still I would rather change the reservoir with the MC in place and un molested. I do see that there are two pins holding it on, but looks a little hard to get to.....any tips for me doing this?? Thanks in advance for info!
 


pretty sure you just pull the old one up and off, then push the new on in place.

id think as long as you dont touch the brake pedal when the res is off you could get away with not bleeding the brakes afterwards.

if the pedal is mushy, then bleed them.
 
Ok, thanks! Any trick to getting those two "pins" out? (...sorry if this post again, I sent the question and I did not see it appear in the thread...)
 
i just looked at one, it seems like a awl or a punch would do the trick, just tap it out enough to clear the tank, them tap em back in after the new one is on.
