I am having a very hard time removing my clutch master cylinder from my car. I have removed the slave, unbolted the two bolts under the dash on the fire wall and removed the reservoire. I can not get the U bolt to pull through the holes in the firewall (think it is rusted). I would like to remove the brake booster to have better access to the clutch master but I have never removed one before can anyone tell me how?

Thanks to all who reply

 

just take a block of wood that you can fit under the dash, put it on each end of the u bolt and hammer it through. thats what i did on my car. works good.

 

Cool thanks for the tip I will give it a shot is it hard to put it back in what do I need to do any tips would be helpful. Thanks again

 

Finally its free but it sure was not easy:[ Now I have to wait till my new hose comes in the mail. I got a DEI heat sheath for the new line to keep it from melting again. Thanks for the help is there anything I should know before I install the new line and put everything back together? How do I bleed the slave what should I watch for ect?

 

Well I finally got this PIA job done thanks for all the help and advice btw putting that U bolt back on by yourself is impossible get a friend with tiny hands. I took the car out for a test drive no gear grinding everything seemed to be working fine...then the car gods kicked me in the ***** and the plastic clip that holds the rod on the clutch pedal coming from the clutch master broke so I had no clutch and had to limp my car home in first gear. I am going to try and use a few C-clips to hold it on the pedal do you think that will work any suggestions are appreciated.
