Hey now capp thanks, I can follow that direction, but I need more help!!!
What if it don't want to unscrew????

We've lubed it and gently tried to unscrew it, but it don't want to move. I've showed my helpers the pics from a thread on here about how it's put together and we're trying not to destroy it, but it may be real stuck. We sprayed it down again and will try again tomorrow. We may have to pull it and try it on the bench??

After pricing new wheel cylinders and the MC/booster, I may can the whole thing and disc the fronts, put in a firewall unit and hang a peddle???

Thanks!!!

Happened to mine as well a long time ago. I sprayed it with WD40 and used a pair of small vice grips on the lid itself not on the top tab and with light pressure worked it back and forth and it did brake loose. I am guessing yours looks like the picture below. You could also take the lid off as shown
and then remove the dip stick on a work bench
