Important detail that many forget, if you do not remove the cover off of your master cylinder reservoir, when you go to compress the piston back in the brake fluid becomes pressurized and the master cylinder reservoir cover will blow off, or even split a line

Ive been a liscenced mechanic for over 5 years and have NEVER seen this happen, I have NEVER removed the cap for the resevoir when pushing pistons back.
