Clutch master cylinder

Postby seanmx5 » Wed Nov 09, 2016 8:11 pm

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

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
