Hey guys,
Juse changing both Clutch master and slave cylinders at with a braided line also.
I'm baffled as to how to get the master.c out..
Do I need to loosed or remove any bolts under the dash as well?
Many thanks

Yep there's one bolt under the dash near the clutch pedal,
Not too hard to get at

Yeah... I can see that there are NUTS but no bolts that would connect and go through the fire wall and into the master Cylinder.
I'll have a look again carefully when I get a chance.
See if I can take a picture too..
Thanks

You'll also need to disconnect the pushrod from the clutch pedal before yanking it out.

Here's a picture of under the dash...
Is it the one circled?
Can't find any diy''s on YouTube or the net for nb8a.. only na which requires the 2 bolts from engine bay only.
Thanks guys
