Clutch Master Cylinder..how to remove?
This weekend I found out my clutch master cylinder died on me... Some time ago I had disassembled my brake system (to rebuild calipers) and from that time on my clutch pedal felt completely numb. Actually I thought that the hydraulic assisted cluth and the brake system were combined (my idea was supported by the fact a lot of steel brakeline kits also contain a clutchline...) but they are two separate systems.

When I press my clutchpedal, they is absolutely no resistance whatsoever. When I loosened the bleeding valve on the slave cylinder it started leaking fluid, but when I pressed the pedal it didn't come out as you would expect, it kept dripping, not more, not less.

So now I tried to remove my clutch master cylinder bij loosening the two bolts it's fitted with. One in inside the car, above of the clutchpedal. But the other one is in the engine compartment, fitted to the firewall behind the brake booster.

Does anyone know if it's possible to remove that one without taking the entire brake booster off? I can reach it with wrench, but there's no room to turn it. Is there a trick to pull this job?

Why motorsports? Because other sports require only one ball!
