Clutch master cylinder replacement tips

Sorry, I did not take pictures.

After you have removed the battery compartment, and the lines are disconnected from the master cylinder, break off both nipples from the master cylinder as close to the cylinder body as possible. I used a screw driver and stuck it in the nipple. I ended up using pliers inside after it was loose to get the remaining.

Removing the clutch assembly:
The top bolt that is hardest to get to but can easily be accessed from the switch panel to the left of the steering wheel. I used a 24 inch extension and a knuckle to reach it.

Reassembly:
Stick the master cylinder in the hole in the fire wall in the correct position to go into the assembly. This will be 45 deg counter clockwise to line up with the assembly. Move both into place and lock in the master cylinder. Reinstall all other nuts and attach the plunger. Reattach the hoses and reinstall the battery.

Bleed the clutch system.
