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,
