vibrating through pedals after being jacked?

[DomP182]

im having a nightmare, had my car on axle stands to replace my brakesbut now having done them im getting vibration through the pedals? What could possibly cause this? Also my brake reservoir is on such an angle its touching the engine, how is it held in place?

The reservoir touching will be probably give you the vibration as its all bolted to the bulkhead as are the pedals

I wondered this, can i safely just push it back. I did try but im worried about detaching it from the master cylinder.

If the reservoir is actually touching the engine, then unless the engine is hanging off its mounts it means your reservoir is already well on its way to being detached as it shoudlnt sit that far fowards!

Yeah the engine is fine on its mounts and very little movement.

How can i move the res. Dont want to risk it coming off

Is it loose and wobbly?
If so you will probably need to remove it, check or replace the seal and refit.

Yeah wobbly alright, just syringe fluid out and pull it off

Yeah, thats the one, its a right sod to get back in though just cause of lack of access, although depends if you have skinny fingers or not I guess!

I'm quite miniature with a monkeys grip I'm sure I will be fine. Does it just push down on with a bit of lube

 

[Chip-mk1]

Yeah no bolts or anything.

Problem solved, thanks.
