Default Master Cylinder kit problem

Hello

I just got signed up, like most I presume with a problem.
I have a 97 Disco I, the brake is not that good; I though to do bleeding I front brakes bleed fine but I'm getting no fluid pressure to the rear, blew out the rear lines. I know this is the master cylinder. Open the master cylinder and found out that that the previous owner add a Texmatic Transmission Fild in the braking system.
I will try to replace the master cylinder kit my self.
Haw to remove the yellow plastic cover at first, as this is my first time to open the master cylinder for the Discovery,,,,,, ANY help would be a blessing

Thanks,

If transmission fluid was put in the master cylinder
then you may have to replace everything that
is rubber as the trans fluid will make the rubber
swell and not let brake fluid pass.
