[DeTomaso] Swapping out clutch master cylinder

[SOBill at aol.com]

Mike,
 
The pita is because it is difficult to get where you need to  go with the 
driver's seat installed and then unscrew the bolts/nuts  which hold the 
master cylinder in place ....... both are free to  turn.
 
Pull the driver's seat.
 
Clamp a visegrip sort of sideways on the bolt head in the  driver's 
compartment and remove the nut in the front trunk. Repeat for nut  #2.
 
While I had my friends bolts and the master cylinder out I put  the bolts 
into the master cylinder holes to get the correct spacing and welded a  metal 
strap between the two bolts so they will never rotate  again.
 
But putting the bolts in place and then mounting the master  cylinder is 
much easier if you have someone to hold the bolts in place. I am  sure one 
person can get it done, but it is much easier with a  helper.
 
Have fun  today,
