How hard is this thing to change out, I had one done on my C 3 and it was a bitch! I am thinking this will be just as bad if not worse to change?

Could the master cylinder if it was bad, make the pedal have a hard feel?

It's about an hour job average, some experienced guys can do it in 30 mins or less. Take the seat out. I don't know of any standard mc problems that would cause a hard pedal.

Nope. Nothing in the M/C that would cause that.

Get a metal one. I got a new plastic one made in Australia and it lasted all of 18 months. It kept cracking around the vacuum port check valve. I epoxied one crack, then another happened. I have a metal booster in there now.
