Anyone replace one of these yet? Seems really early at 75,000 miles. I was reading the service Manuel that I downloaded from this site. The clutch pedal assembly has to be removed with the master cylinder as a single unit. Then I can replace the master cylinder. Ok a lot of work but I can deal with that. But before I have to disconnect the steering shaft from the steering gear. Not sure I'm comfortable with that, but I will have to try.
Also says to remove, air cleaner, battery, tray, PCM.
If anyone has done this, just really want to know if the steering shaft has to be disconnected or can I work around that. It just says disconnect. So I assume just to move out of the way
I found these instructions online, same as in the manual

The clutch pedal had too much free play. Just had to barely lift the clutch pedal off the floor and I was moving. So I thought maybe some air in the system. Tried to bleed the system and fluid starting leaking into the passenger compartment. Its so bad, I have it parked, not running and it has a slow drip. I have a pan there now to catch it.
