2004 Brake Master Cylinder Repair

Hey folks, any ideas for a tool to open up the brake master cylinder? 2004 model. Think we need to repair it as replacements are impossible to find.

images attached

Er.. replacements seem pretty available from Mazdatrix or online Mazda parts suppliers in Canada. Sure it's $360 new, but you could always ebay or junkyard.

I don't think they're meant to be disassembled or repaired, nor would I really trust one that has been?

Straight forward job you know what you are doing.
Your is an old version since had a bleeding valve, the new one I believe the same as the Mazda 6 ? and does have a bleeding valve, line exits are not side...
If you have never done/are not a qualified mechanic, it is not only better but also cheaper to obtain a rebuilt unit/ brank new.

On this platform, people are scared of doing things and thinking outside of the box :D
