You have it disconnected at the pedal right? If so it'll just pull out with some work.

Yes, the master cylinder has been removed the vacuum hose is disconnected, the 4 mounting nut are out, the pedal boxed are out of the car and I removed the connector at the end of the rod to. There just does not seem to be enough room to get it out without removing the AC hose.

I got the booster and the transmission out, tonight. Now I got to get the heal a coil set for the starter bolt and figure out how much I have to cut off the brake booster rod.
Also whats the torque spec for the flywheel and clutch bolts? What size heal a coil do I need for the starter stud?

I found the specs I needed. I got the flywheel and clutch installed. I also got the starter stud transferred to the mt trany. I tried to work on the pedals, but I can't figure out where to drill the hole for the master clutch bolts.

I usually just pull them out of the way... don't yank em because they will bend and crimp, use constant force that is not secluded to one arear and just pull and push them to where they need to be

I got the lines sort out of the way, but I got a new problem. The top of the master cylinder tank hits the fire wall. So there is no way to open the cap to add fluid. I am going to switch to a remote mounted master cylinder tank. I found a master cylinder I had that I think its out of a forester. It has a remote tank on it so, I think I can just switch the tanks and make a bracket to hold it.

the master cylinder tanks are always in the way... It is such a PITA to get to when you fill it, use the best brake fluid you can find so you don't have to do it again for a long long time

Ya, that's why I am going to try and get the remote tank to work. That way I can get to the fluid easy.
