Default brake reservoir on master cylinder?

I'm trying to take off the torx bolt but the brake reservoir is in the way. Am I able to unbolt that and remove it to get to the torx bolt without having to bleed the brakes?

im assuming your talking about the torx bolt to get the front shocks off. if so, unbolt the master from the big *** vacuum canister and just move it a little out of the way

So you can remove it completely without it messing with the brake system? I wasn't completely sure without having the bleed the brakes if you did that.

btw: a tip

when putting it back together, swap the torx bolts to the passenger side and the hex heads from the pass to the drivers side, that way if you ever have to do it again you dont have to **** with the master cylinder
