How do I remove and install the brake Master Cylinder kit into an existing master cylinder? I have successfully removed the Master Cylinder on the car but now need to remove the internal parts in it to replace it wih the new parts from the kit.

YOU DON'T!

You don't want to attempt to rebuild that master. You are just asking for a world of problems. The aluminum housing deteriorate making new seals useless.
Just replace it with a new master cylinder.
