Having trouble replacing the brake master cylinder

[vvaffle]

I had this posting in the reg. 240 discussion thread. Probably should have posted here first.

Short version: Can't get brake fluid container into brake master cylinder. HELP!

A while ago I changed my brake master cylinder on my 91 240. I connected it to the booster fine but I can't seem to put the brake fluid container all the way into the cylinder. There are two rubber pieces that go in between the container and then cylinder. If I put them into the cylinder first then I can't get the container to snap in. If I put the rubber pieces on the container first, then I can't get the rubber to fit into the cylinder. Is there any trick to this? By the way, I was pushing pretty hard.
