clutch master removal

[DannyW]

I'm going to install Perfection's hydraulic unit, and I've watched their helpful video. But on my '04, there appears to be less room outboard of the master cylinder than seen in the video. The ABS manifold is too close to allow rotation of the master to release it from the firewall socket. Before I start disassembling things under the dash, can I get some pointers from anyone who tackled this job?

You can call their toll free tech support and talk to the guy that did the video if you want.

Just take the nuts off inside so you don't have to rotate it and pull it out. There is some effort to get it past all the lines but it will come out. Don't know why they made it a twist lock when you can't use it. Maybe for production.

 

[DannyW]

Thanx for the suggestion, GCroyle. I just got off the horn with them. I will have to pull that mounting socket from the firewall.

Does that mean taking the nuts off at the firewall, like blackberry said?

 

[DannyW]

Yep. I just hope it's not bonded to the firewall with some weapons-grade adhesive.

It has a foam gasket but not weapons grade.
