[DeTomaso] Clutch Master Cylinder

[SOBill at aol.com]

The mounting bolts must be held from the inside ..... up behind the  pedals 
..... where you cannot reach them .... RATS.
 
While the master is out, put the bolts/nuts in the master mounting  tabs, 
make a suitable metal bracket, and tack weld the bracket to the bolts.  Remove 
the bolts and finish the welding. The next time you have to pull the  master, 
you will be able to do like a gentleman because the bolts will not  rotate.
 
Have fun,

Hi all -  if I were looking to take off the stock clutch master cylinder - 
seems  straightforward but thought I would double check - have taken off the 
plastic  resevoir (1 1/16 wrench)...that came off easily - the it looks to be 
mounted  to two studs with 13mm nuts - QUESTION: are these really fixed 
studs...or is  there something on the otherside of the firewall under the dash (like a 
bolt  head) that one has to hold down)?? - if not, it would be those 2 
retaining  nuts, unfasten the hydraulic line and it is off...right? - many thanks! -
